He's layed out on the floor , as I design his torso and limbs.... 
Another piece I was working o this weekend, again after the carved face, I sketch out the rest of the body...It will act like a pattern that I'll trace onto wood, to cut out, then shape. 
Here's some cut out pieces from found wood bits, this girl whom I call "Princess". Will be apart of the theatre performer's. In the April Show. Other characters will either be in a parade or "Side Show" 
Alas I did get out of my art cave and see the light of day. Here pictured L -R.
Are my daughter Nicole, niece Roma (visiting from Boise), my Mother, Roma (her namesake) & me. We all had the black thing going on, it apprently goes well with a grey Portland day.
Nice work Stephanie. Your wood carvings are wonderous. Mister Geppetto wood be proud and Pinocchio is happy to have a new friend.
