Default First Try At Holiday Carving
Hi there,

I just finished these two characters. The first one is obvious, a Santa toothpick holder, the other one, (now I'm trying to be creative) is a Christmas Ghost toothpick holder. I got the pattern for the Santa from "a" carving magazine that I bought in 2003.

Looks great to me Lindy you were right you are right back into it. Maybe again some better pictures, not complaining just a suggestion.

Very creative and nice job on both.

I'd place the Santa on the fireplace mantel with wooden matches in it for the Xmas season.

Way to go Lindy, those are excellent. Snow in the background.... yuck! I think I will keep to my 75 degree weather.

Thanks for sharing your work, I look forward to seeing more of it.
