A Couple New Guys

I put a couple new Santas on our PT site - http://www.picturetrail/carvers-r-us

One of them is my first carving done in White Pine - boy, what great wood to carve. SO much better than the yellow pine I can get around here.

Teri,
Young lady you are an amazing artist. I never tire looking at your carvings. Your attention to detail is second to none. I love the carvings done out of white pine and agree with you it is beautiful stuff to carve. That is one wood I can get plenty of here. Again the scene at the bottom of the robe just made that carving. I sure hope that I get the chance to meet you some day and sit down an carve with you. You are definatly one heck of a 'Santa carvin lady'
Colin

Well, thank you, Colin - that's very kind of you. I'd love the opportunity to sit down and carve with you, too....who knows, it just may happen one of these fine days :-)

Teri

Wow! as usual, I'm so amazed by the Santas and most of all the quality paint job that you add to the finished carving. You are definatly someone I look to when I want to inspire myself to make better Santa carvings. Keep inspiring us! Claude

Teri, excellent, as always! I really like how you did the first one, with the robe open and the scene painted 'inside', very nice! Callynne

Teri,

Very nice!

I can't get over the little scenes you paint on the robes. Do you ever do any paintings on canvas??

Chris

Wow, Teri, wonderful as usual!
Claude you did a nice job for a first santa. Keep up the good work!
Callynne, I love your style. Looks like you are getting as prolific as Teri!!
Enjoyed looking. Thanks,
Bette

Thanks Bette! No chance I'll ever be as prolific as Teri though, she's in a class all by herself, hmmm, I was thinking she had been cloned but maybe she has elves! Callynne

Teri,

Beautiful work as always!!

Thank you Bette! My aging mother was the recepient of my first Santa and boy was I glad she enjoyed it because it's getting really hard to find something she hasnt received before. I will probably begin my next Santa in the early fall when things slow down a bit again. I really hope to improve with time. Take care! Claude
