Horse Complete

Well, here it is, my first try at carving a horse from a wooden egg, now completely carved, sanded, painted, and varnished:

And, from the side:

Overall, I'm rather pleased with how she turned out. I'm thinking of attempting to carve a sleeping foal next time I try a horse, though. A curled up foal will suit the egg shape nicely, and is easier to envision than an upright horse like this one. For my first attempt, though, I think this horse turned out rather well, and I'll definitely be pondering ways to improve it in the future.
