Beautiful, Chuck. Looks pretty difficult to me. You must have to sand very thin???

Looks good, Nancy. I can't tell you how many tons of that stuff I dug out of my raspberry vines when I was growing up in Oregon... Did have pretty flowers, though...

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

The flowers look very delicate, and I like your paint color choice.
The symbolism of a morning glory is the "beginning of life."
Very pretty piece.
