Talking My Second Carving While I wait for my paints to arrive...
Hi Guys,

Back again to show my second carving! It is smaller than my first but it was still a joy to carve. Pattern was from WCI Holiday 2009 Issue 49, page 70:

Woodcarving Illustrated Issue 49 - Holiday 2009

Please let me know how did i do!! It was a little harder for me to carve because it was sooooooo small. But I got it done. Just waiting for paints to come in the mail.

Patty

You definitely are a quick learner. Your first two carvings are excellent work. Keep at it!
