New carver

Working on that Donut! ??

Starting a flower....wish me luck!

Good luck Mary. Challenge yourself a little more with each carving. Keep your tools sharp.

Will do!

Getting there....I free handed this flower....no pattern. Just started it today. Ugh! This is harder than I thought.  Hopefully I can make it look better tomorrow.

Hi Mary. That is so exciting! I love your enthusiasm and eagerness to jump right in. Don't stop! Take your time, work through the beginner lessons in the order listed, and each will build your confidence and carving skills. Your flower is a wonderful start and by the way, did you see my first carving? Keep yours so you can look back at it.

You've got the desire to carve, now you just need to put the time and practice in. But the desire is what gets you there!

Thank you! You are so inspiring!  Think I need to do a couple more donuts ?
