Default I finished another present
My granddaughter has a collection of crosses on her living room wall. I wanted to make her something to go with the collection. Here is my version of a lily and cross. The cross is walnut (carved with a chisel to get those great facets) and the lily is basswood. I borrowed the idea from Kitaye's spoon. But the drawing is mine. It is 10 inches tall.

Joy- very nice carving, the paint job on the Lily is outstanding.
what caught my eye is the simplicity of the total presentation.

I'm sure your your Grandaughter will treasure it.
