I prefer to just use the 220 grit in various stages of wear. I don’t like to use fresh sandpaper, no matter the grit, because it is too harsh for Jelutong and will remove your carved details! So I use a slightly worn piece of 220 grit and progress to a very well worn piece, it is so soft, you can preserve the fine detail.

Once I am finished carving all three monkeys, I have to paint them. I will be using good artist's grade acrylic paint, and numbers 0 and 3 brushes.

And there you have it, See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil are
completed, ready to be mum to Mom!
