I Love these! I particularly like how you have kept the wood-ness of them- the grain and color. I know I would have covered them with gesso first and lost so much, right at the start. And I can see why it was hard to start in on them- a blank prepared surface can be very intimidating.
it’s amazing how a few (albeit skillfully placed) lines van create such personality on inanimate objects. love the slightly uncertain expressions on the brown-haired ones!
I was recently trying to paint on wooden heads….HOW on earth do you keep the paint from bleeding in the wood grains? My mom and I had a horrible result, and we resorted to using colored pencils!!! Any advice or tips would be a big help!Thanks!
They are just gorgeous and must be so lovely to work with. Beautiful wood, such personality.
They look fab Claire!! When you love doing something, it shows.

They are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I love them!!
The “loobylu special” shape is my favourite.
Are they the ones your uncle turned for you?
Beautiful – faces are so much fun, but I am sure using paint on a rounded surface adds its own touch of pressure.
They look fabulous. So perfect!
I love the way you are painting these faces. You are doing them the loobylu way….they are completely unique and individual. Keep going!
Cute!! 🙂
