Mini-Christmas tree ornaments

[Tom-H]

I am getting ready to teach carving mini- Christmas tree ornaments. These will be carved from 1/2 x 1/2 inch Basswood; and be any where from 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch long. I currently have several patterns for Santa's and snowmen; but would like to have some additional ideas and/or patterns.

Can anyone direct me to some of the other ideas, patterns or pictures?
I recently saw a mini evergreen tree that was carved/whittled in the round from 1/2 x 1/2 stock that looked great.

Thanks!

Tom,
Go to the general wood carving board
forum, up at top you will see a sticky note
called free patterns links.

Hey Tom, good luck on your quest, I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'll be waiting patiently to see some pix. Good luck.

Tom:
Take one of your ear ring santas, remove the mustache, add pointy ears coming through the hair, and paint the hat green, and you'll have an elf!

I'm with Claude, how about an Elf holding himself tight to his hat with striped legs hanging down wards into pointy shoes? The eyes hidden into the hat, but a big ol nose and ears sticking out?

I've seen somewhere on the net a long skinny santa with hands way up, holding on to the hook for hanging.. feet dangling.

How about a mouse hanging from the hook or candy cane?

Its going to be fun to see what you come up with..thats for sure.
