Well here's the finished piece.

It's the best picture I have at the moment.  I'm having a bit of trouble with glare.  All that's left to do is  to varnish the piece.  I figure it'd be much harder to get a photo once it's varnished so I'll  have to get a better one before I do that. 

I've just begun work on the second.  It's going to be a similar type of grouping, but I haven't given much thought to colour yet.  I'll get more work up as I go. 

Here's a detail.

Unfortunately the surface doesn't come across at all in these photos.  The head above is sculpted.  The nose and mouth are not flat as they look here.  I'm not sure how I can document that.  Perhaps some pictures from the side might do the trick.  I'll have to try that tomorrow.

I'm very happy with how this one turned out and can't wait to get some more of them finished.
