Well, the panel from the kit is still much better, but I’m making progress

The kit's is more intricate,  but your carving looks mighty good.   Especially since this is an imaginary vessel, and the embellishments can be whatever you please,  I think that pushes the balance even more in favor of your own handwork.

There is a group project on carving that you may find useful.

 

The link is for tutorials and discussion, but you may find other useful info in the various logs within the group.

Thanks, gentlemen!
To be honest, I’m not fully happy with it — I’m sure you’ll find the perfect colors for your Gretels. I tried to make the wooden stern decoration to avoid that too strong black accent, but well… not this time.
Maybe I should just paint the wales black and get rid of one extra color.
