Waiting for my princess

This is the latest of my frog series. It was turned on three axis from a 9" x 3" Iroko blank then carved and coloured with acrylics. Comments and critiques welcomed.
Gwilym. Here are some photos of the making.

Hi Gwylim,

  You really are stretching your techniques, and being rewarded, I look forward to seeing this completely fininshed.

Cheers Martin.

Gwilym,
          your work never ceases to amaze me, the amount of planning is enough to put me off, it is nice to see the piece in the making as a picture says a 1000 words.
regards
