The thing is my eyes get so tired after spending all day scowling at a computer screen and then to work on a carving with tired eyes and hands is a challenge. The linoleum is carving very nice and I expect to have it finished by this weekend.
Using particle wood for the base is a bit tricky and so to prevent the wood swelling and falling apart when cleaning the blocks, I paint all the wooden surfaces with house paint and let it dry. Easy clean up and protects the wood.
I plan on using Indian Rosewood for a special carving and I have been watching various videos for wooden carving tips. Yeppers, I could just take a class somewhere and learn that way but I get a real charge figuring out stuff and then sharing with others. Seeing some of my friends create beautiful things just tickles me to no end! Like watching one of our boys do something awesome and praising them like mad :)
Anyway, Here is a picture of my progress so far. I did not get a darn thing done tonight. I fell into the couch after dinner and binge watched all kinds of You Tube stuff. Time for Momma to go beddy bye and get some sleep! Sweet dreams my darlins and remember...Momma loves ya!
