Looking forward to seeing some more pics spirit. Did you repair the damaged arm? Did you consider making her a bracelet to cover injury? How did you go with the hair?

nar it looks OK but if you turn it on a angle you can see her wrist is to thin l should make a new arm and join it up but im back at work on Monday so well l said it was done if l was making to sell l would fix it

v/happy with the hair when they dance they wear this wig with ringlets that looks like a big spider that sit at the back of their head .

been making a few other carvings, a mouth piece for a didgeridoo when l get to school I'm going to teach them how to make and play a didg should be fun

Hi Spirit

I don't know how this will come over but your figurine reminds me of a old clay ornament or toy that's been found from a time long gone. I've seen them in history books and museums. What ever you did to fix her arm is indiscernible and well done for staying with her till the end. There's something appealing about her character. What next old salt?
