Last week I shared with you the EZboard plates I've been carving that bring me a lot of JOY.
There were several JOYful emails that hit my inbox that I wanted to share with you.
Diana shared, "I did some YouTube searching for the beginner chip carver when I ran across your video. I went to your website and fell in love even more. I have some issues with many of the cuts, but also did watch many videos on the craft. I have completed two patterns on
3x3 basswood blanks. Needless to say, they weren't the best lol.
I have started to watch some of the videos tonight and will be working on more of them tomorrow. What brings me joy is the fact that I can share what I make with friends and family. Including my church family."
Sharpening JOY from Dave, "Yep scary sharp put the strips to work together with the YT video and My chip carving knives have never been so sharp.......Easy peasy
So much fun I decided to do all my other knives for a scary sharp edge
Thanks for all you do and all your positive and sharing knowledge to make carving so much fun for all of us."
Carl sees the bigger picture, "
Carving your Sleigh kit for my grandchildren brings me joy. It's been interesting, because I've made several break out mistakes. Some could be repaired, some not. Yet I look at the overall project and know they will be excited, not critical, so I kept on going with joy. I added grooves to the top of runner struts to make painting easier - spray red, then brush the runners silver. The real joy will be watching the video of them opening the package!! I know exactly what
you mean about celebrating your work as an expression of Soul's creativity, rather than feeling vain.
You serve your community with love, Marty. That is a Spiritual service in many ways."
Is there such a thing as "knife joy"? Here's Tony...
"I just received my modified knife and I have to tell you, WOW! What a fantastic knife. I was struggling with getting consistent clean cuts and when I tried this modified knife my cuts are clean and consistent. I just love it! Thank you for such great products and service! I look forward to more lessons in the future!"
! NEW December Project !
A while back I as you to choose between 2 items as to which one, or both, you would purchase and like to carve.
The majority selected this pencil, brush, even carving knife holder.
While the ones shown are octagons, I'll be producing hexagon holders next week!
I've created 3 different patterns that can be combined or select one of the patterns for all 6 sides. I'll share more details next week.
I've added this New Product to the Store so you can order EARLY!
