I am happy to report that I recently finished editing the final 3 chapters of the Dragon and Acanthus Leaf lesson. They are now available on my online school – all 15 episodes!

3 New Dragon & Acanthus Episodes

We’re coming down to the home stretch! 3 more episodes have just been added to my online school – about 1-1/2 more hours of video. It’s fascinating watching and editing a project that I did nearly a year ago and saying to myself “now, why would I go about it that way?” And then watch […]

My client, Smokey (ironic for wanting a dragon carved?) wanted to do the finishing and he made a beautiful frame of walnut with bloodwood inlay. The backing for the carving is also bloodwood. He mentioned he […]
