Congrats on your "retirement ".
I have been doing 1 or 2 sales a year, and that is more than enough. I haven't figured out what people like, so I am generally making stuff Iike.
Like many others here, this is home. I have pretty much guven up on all the other sites. I am on a few on FB. The one there, I visit most, is Girls with scroll saws. That being said, they seem to mostly do big name signs.
Thanks Travis for the site!
I haven't made it yet. I was given some, from another friend. Love using it. Smells nice. I have also then used a hairdryer to warm it to sink in the crevices.
The stacking bowls are a Steve Good pattern. I used 1" reclaimed Elm and 1/4" Sapelle. Finished with beeswax/mineral oil.
I have no idea what woods the hands are. Both pieces were given to me. Possibly maple and cherry.
I was given some beeswax from a friend so one of these gnomes is a thank you gift. They are cut from various thickness of bb ply. One of the beehives I did veining and the other one I created a groove and then shaded it. Pattern purchased from Whimsical Inklings in Design Bundles. Acrylic paint and then a couple coats of shellac.
Just took a quick look at most of my clocks - they are all Arabic. I don't mind Roman numerals but then prefer it to only be on the 1/4's It can get crowded looking.
Thanks for jinxing the day Marie! I was painting small pieces for another gnome and "misplaced" a couple of the leaves. I was able to find them. My floor is so much cleaner now!!!
