Letting the Dwarf Hear

Last night I got back to work on my dwarf. He can now hear out of two nicely carved ears. Here's a close up of one ear:

Through carved golf ball faces, I have become better at producing faces in wood, too. A few months ago I would not have dared attempt a face this large, because the facial details would have been too daunting to consider. One of the greatest joys in carving has been continuing to see my skills develop over time. I never get bored of trying new patterns and looking at other ways to be creative within the limitations of round figures.
