Going to Germany on Sunday. And since I want my mother to have something from me at Christmas time, I made some nativities for her to pick one from. Hope she likes.
* no ideas why they are sideways - again!
Today I taught my daughter how to use my scroll ... Since the new Feinschnitt magazine included a pattern for a dinosaur landscape, she really wanted that for her sons. I told her to do it herself.... Big mistake: so now I am going to have to compete using my machine, I bet!
Here are her first attempts.
Purple Heart Bowl... Took a while. Despaired while sanding... quite a learning curve. Know what I would do differently next time. Not sure there will be a next time.
I think it looks fantastic. (and I am jealous, because I have not managed to figure out how to do this yet - lack of time being one of the reasons..., lack of skill the other).
Love the flowers, but I am not a fan of the background. It is almost blinding, if you don't mind my saying so. Personally, I prefer to let the wood shine, rather than the background.
No hard feelings I hope? I truly love the roses!
