Default Elf
Hi All:
'Elf' is carved from a Mark Gargac pattern from the special 2009 Christmas Issue of WCI. 'Elf' is carved from Basswood and painted using Artist Oil Paints. Just this afternoon while carving on elf number 2 my Gargac 'Carving Elf ornaments arrived. Yea! Thanks, Mark....
My 'Elf' is 7 1/2 inches Tall x 3 inches Wide.
As always I appreciate your comments,
Kathy

Hi Kathy, she is absolutely adorable. I think this is one of, if not, the best you've shown. Happy New Year.
