| "Chester" came to me for touch up of minor chips to be followed by a complete repaint. He is a very nice Lovik woodcarved figure. However, as with many of the Lovik woodcarved figures, the cut under the mouth was made much too low and gaps very noticeably when the mouth is opened. So - as long as the head is going to be repainted, and with his owner's permission, I decided to remove the mouth and do some corrective surgery. |

| This is the completed head, repainted, and with the underside of the mouth/neck rebuilt to eliminate the unsightly gap. |

| "Chester," ready to rejoin his owner, Jan Goodwin. No longer will he need to wear turtle-neck shirts to every occasion! |
I love these little vignettes you put up, and I'm a sucker for before and after pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe before and after photographs, along with the commentary, is very educational. You are helping us understand the complexity of what we love to do and what it takes to get our vent figures ready. All I can say is WOW! What an Artist !!!

Talking about Lovik puppets...............
ReplyDeleteI believe Lovik made dinosaur like puppets, in a half shell, which "rested" on a false hand. Does anyone know whether someone is still making these. Are there any available for purchase? Are there plans of these available?
Would love to here more about these puppets!
Thanks.
They were called "Hand-'n-Hand" puppets - I'll try to find a picture.
