You MUST look into the mouth.
The longer you look, the more realistic the mouth becomes!
The teeth are teeny tiny but perfect! And did you notice the teeth in the upper jaw?
How did he carve those teeth and then place them so perfectly?
The tongue is rolled up at the edges and touches the roof of the mouth.....JUST LIKE A REAL TONGUE!
Jimmy is so incredibly talented, I don't think there is anything he couldn't accomplish.
Jimmy finds the red stone on the seashore near his childhood home and uses it for his "special effects".
Smooth Talker is smiling from ear to ear.
And each of his claws is carved separately.
It is rare to see a bear with a red tongue and we happen to have two in the gallery at the same time!
