First Effort!

From Andy Williamson:

Mr. D. I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy your daily blog. I read it daily. I just became interested in vent figures last Fall after visiting Branson. I had a vision about 3 months ago about using a vent figure in my church.

I have taught 3rd and 4th grade Sunday School for over 25 years and think this would be a great avenue for getting God's Word out in a new manner. Here is a picture of my first figure that I transformed with Magic Sculpt. I was nervous about the whole process, but I would study your pictures daily, and after much prayer I made the attempt. The wig came from Salvation Army and while he needs eyebrows, in the end I think it is okay.

I hope that some day my new vent friend and I will be able to bless others the way you do. I have not named my friend yet, and I will need to learn the art of being a ventriloquist. I know that it will take a lot of practice and patience on my part. Again, I want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. You have been a blessing to me, and I know thousands of others as well.

    This is an absolutely beautiful figure. You mentioned you needed to add eyebrows but I think this figure is great without them.

    That's a wonderful and very engaging figure. Unbelievable that it's your first effort. It's so very realistic-looking and so very different from other figures on the market. Truly a great and impressive job.
