Default Fridge magnets

Here's some fridge magnets that I've made lately, idea from WCI mag. I basically made different variations using just 2 designs. Good practice pieces for me to learn different techniques. Found that the one design works better with the wood grain not going is same direction as the leaves. It makes it so I'm not carving totally against the grain on half of it. Kinda hard to explain what I mean, hopefully you can understand. Simple and not too involved, so easy for me to work on after 10-12 hrs days at work.

Thanks everyone, I do plan on giving a few away. Will likely make some more after I finish my latest project. They are fun to make.

Really excellent painting! They should be good sellers at an arts and craft show, but I suspect your friends and family probably have first dibs on them!

I've never thought about being a craft show seller. I just want to carve, get better at it, and hopefully carve as well as certain people (at least half as good) on this wonderful web site.
