Default 1st attempt

This is my first attempt at relief. It is the project that comes with the Flexcut 5 piece craft carvers set. I accidentally cut off the long stem, but I think it all worked out in the end.

Excellent pattern to begin with. You got very good results and it doesn't look like a "first relief".

Terry, Very nice, especially for your first. You have very even depth throughout the background work. Your edges of your leaves are well defined. And! Your stem is even thickness.

If this is your first I believe we can expect some great carvings from you soon.
