Do any of you Accessorize your carvings with bought nicknacks? I have see carvings with baskets or bags filled with items, fake moss and such. Do any of you use stuff like that?

I have "made" accessories for carvings....such as stirrups and reins for a rocking horse. I used to do leather work and had various supplies left over from that....also ditto on stained glass. So, I cut some leather lacing for the reins and the stirrup straps, made the stirrups from copper wire, shaped and soldered and patina'd. I also made the bit for the reins to attach to with the wire. There have been other things I made to go with carvings also, but never have I bought a figurine or knick knack to use.

I've almost always made my own. On this one for example, I wrote to my sister in Oregon and she sent me a handful of Ponderosa Pine needles, which I wove into the basket on Santa's back. Claude |

Nate... I used river rock glued to a piece of red cedar for the stream bed for the one and only fish that I've ever carved.
