Just finished her yesterday, and delivered her to Guardino Gallery. She stands 22 inches tall and is carved from a solid piece of wood. She decided to wear a blue dress with yellow polka dots, and red boots are always in style
First she was sketched out
Then she was chiseled and chiseled to find just the right shape.
This process takes a lot of time . But it's worth the effort, finally seeing an image emerge from the wood.
Juggling girl didn't want me to mention, but she is wearing red underwear.
That matched her shoes.
I attached her arms separately so they would be movable, she raises her arms up

I'm still deciding if there will be more of the "girl" series. "Pet Bee Girl", "Bravo Girl" and "Heart in a Cage Girl" have all gone home with private collectors. I'm considerding other subjects....
Also keeping her company is Socrates, he measures 29 inches, his face is carved from a old tool, and his body is fashioned from found objects.
I like the idea of your "Girl Puppet" series. Such a simple name for such complex personalities!
