I agree with GB on the eyes!  The very first one I attempted I found myself picking up John Lennon's eye off the floor just as I was about finished with the project.  A little dab of wood glue and he had immediate eye surgery.

Now, when I do a portrait I make a few "easy cuts" just to get the feel of the wood and get my groove on.  Then I go right for the eye's so if really mess it up, I don't have a lot of time invested.  That gives me a little piece of mind.

Lookiing at these eyes, they must have been very fragile to do.  Again, Good Job!!!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the fantastic comments.  I love doing portraits, if I make a pattern it takes me ages because I use a black marker and liquid paper that's why I never volunteer to make patterns for people. By the time I''ve made one they''ve cut someone else's and moved on to the next project. Lol  I have been cutting portraits since 2000 and this is the first time I managed to loose an eye but I also managed to mingle it so it was not fixable, Lol I guess there is a first time for everything.  Thanks again

nice job on both the pattern and cutting. I need to learn to make patterns.
