Needle carving completed

So I made a needle cutting tool, showed how to use it- here is the completed stamp.

I cut the image out with a needle and used a gouge to clean up the large areas

After it has been carved I rinse it off really well I. Warm water. Dried it on a paper towel over night.

Now I have to edit.  The right eye looks good, but the left eye has an area by the eyebrows that I will need to think about it.  The original has those markings.  So before I take my knife back to this image I am going to ink it up a few times and see what I get.
