I need some advice. I've worked myself into a corner and don't know how to get out. I have made 4 marine creatures and I'm not sure what to do with them. Originally I was going to use them for a magazine article, as well as projects on the next carving cruise, and then teach classes and sell blanks and instructions- as usual.
I got the 3 first ones done, and then realized that they didn't look good together, and were not even all fish, (Orca are marine mammals, ie, dolphins). And they were very difficult to make. I had planned to make this an article on making EASY fishies. I failed.
So then I figured that I could make an easy dolphin. I decided to make one in butternut finished naturally, and paint one. So that gave me the second 2 carvings, and they were easier than the first 3.

Take a look at the finished carvings, please, and tell me which of the 5 you think would make a good article. I have taken about 300 photos of the process, so I can make an article out of any combination of them.
It would be best if you answer privately: donpbk at yahoo.com
Thanks a bunch-
