Default Another attempt.

Good morning everyone;
I finally got around to a Santa. I posted it on the gallery under holiday. I wish I could do original carvings but I'm not advanced yet so I have to stick to books! I could not do the squares like the pattern so I had to go with dots.

Sue,
That Santa is wonderful! You added your own touch, and it turned out very well. I look forward to seeing your next project. Very inspiring.

This is how you get around to doing your own originals. You change an existing pattern a little at a time. Before you know it, people will be banging your door down to get a pttern from you.

Marvelous Santa!
