    These are fantastic! They look quite small judging by the paint brushes there, must look very delicate in real life.

    thank you~~
    yes yes they're quite small.
    all under 6-7 inches.

    hopefully i'll find something larger to work on in the future,
    or get a block and carve them out. :)

    Larger ones would be amazing too. I thought these were quite large at first, say the size of vases, til I spotted the jar of brushes.

    yes, I thought that too, really nice, but they would be beautifull objects a little larger

    Wow, I really like these. It adds a whole new dimension to your work. It reminds me to the Russian Matryshka dolls -- the ones that stack inside one another getting smaller and smaller. Your sculptures also remind me of the work of Tony Oursler, who projects talking faces on to doll's heads. :-) I also love the Klimt like designs on these figures. Most of all I like how playful these are, as if you are discovering them as you paint them. :-)
