Howdy !

Have you ever had an idea but could never find the time to work on it? And when you think you’ll have some time to pursue it, something comes up to occupy that time so the idea gets put on the backburner again. That's been the case for me several times this year, but I finally forced myself to get to one of those ideas this past week by making it the topic of the Platinum Member webinar.

What was that idea, you ask?? A chip-carved cookie mold! While showing a friend some of my carvings he mentioned carved cookie molds. I'd never heard of such a thing, so he showed me some of his wife's cookie molds which were quite detailed. They were power-carved so they weren't chip carving patterns, but the idea was intriguing. 

It took some time, and trial and error to come up with a couple of patterns to choose from, but mission accomplished! The challenge was viewing a pattern and realizing I needed to carve the inverse so the design would be raised on the cookie. Below is what I came up with for the first attempt:

I still need to apply a food-safe finish, such a mineral oil, and do a kitchen test, but it felt good to finally give it a go. And it was fun!

What ideas have you made time for?

September's Monthly Project 

8 inch Flat Plate with 8 Point Rosette and Leaf Pattern

This is the same pattern I carved on my Vesterheim candle plate with the addition of the 8 Point Rosette. It's a challenging pattern, but one of my favorites! I hope you'll enjoy it too!

NEW!!

I've added the option to order the plate with the pattern applied!

On the Plain Edge Flat Plate page, select a Size of 8", and then select the Pattern 8 Point Rosette and Leaf.
