"Jeremy's Muppet Trio"

Back in the carving seat again and here is the latest piece. Jeremy just happens to be a "Muppet Officiando Extraordinaire." His favorite three Muppets are; Kermit, Gonzo and Scooter. I toyed with a number of ways to put the three of them into one carving and decided to go with just their heads all in one carving.

These little guys were going to be easy.... right!

You'd think that carving out three little simplistic heads would be simple to carve out. Until I started.

After a carving session I soon realized that working them is such close proximity to each other would make for some frustrating carving.

At a certain point of defining each carving things did get better, I just had to work each head in small steps to help me keep their prospective in relation to one another.

It all worked out. I managed to refrain from carving one or the other's cheek, ear or eyes off and make some great progress.

After "cleaning"the piece from burrs and dust they're finally ready for some color and their final clear coat.

...and there you have it!
