Lathe

I found these photos of Claudia shortly after I took her off the lathe. Claudia on the left. Other  carving attempts on the right....lol

Claudia was definately a labor of love. But I learned so much in the process.  View my previous post to see the finished Claudia. She is by far the best wooden doll I have completed so far. The best is yet to come as I have only been carved a little over a year. Thanks for stopping by and comments are always welcome.
