I love the fact that you used bark shavings for the cone part....it looks so real! Your paint job is also perfect with shades and hues like a real flower....not just all the same color. What a team you 2 are!<br />I agree about the hobby 'tools and supplies'.....I can't get enough....was looking at more fabric this morning! LOL!

Sometimes woodcarvers simply do not have the social skills to sell or socialize with fellow carvers. If you ever go to a carving convention, it is filled with wierdos. ( I know, I was one of them) But carving is a fun hobby. It's always fun to see people get into it and what they like to carve.
