Don't Mess with Roller Girl, She looks pretty tough carrying her Shrunken head around. Finky, your Imagination is growing by leaps and bounds along with your carving skills.

Wow, thanks everyone!
I finished up another girl this past weekend, so I wanted to post some pics before she gets sent off to a new home. This one in particular is very hard for me to let go of. I feel like my mind clicked on something with this one. It felt like I was carving a 3d piece instead of carving a 2d piece in 3 dimensions. Does that make any sense?
I should point out that my daughter helped me alot with the begining sketches. She's becoming a big part of my recent carvings.
Mahalo for looking!

Finky, You are carrying this tradition of the Hula girl to new heights and I am Very happy that Josie has been such a positive influence on the project AND that you even Let her be so involved. Kudos to you for seeing where you needed help the most and accepting that help from where it needed to come from! (if that makes any sense). I believe this line can/will make you famous, both of you. Way to go.
