Red face Trying Again
Some of you know I haven't been carving much for a couple of years. Well ............. I tried again. I even got the thumbs pointing in the right direction. Never mind that they're empty

Beautiful work. I love the "white on white" effect of the snow flakes. And that beard is wonderful.

Good to see you back in the saddle again Nancy, and it looks like you haven't lost your touch!!! That is a great piece and the famous trademark Nancy "Beard" turned out superb! Well done my dear! You inspire us.
