Long overdue...

Almost 5 months since I finished this plate, I can't believe how time flies! I hope you enjoy the pictures of work in progress as well as the finished product.

This was my first time using my new woodburner and it took quite a while to get used to it. It's so different than the ones I have been using before. This one has the option to regulate the temperature while working, very nice indeed!

Here is another close up of the work in in the first 24 hours

And another one

I can't wait for May to be over so I can finally sit down and do some woodburning!

Sneak peak

I am so excited ! I have been asked to prepare a cake and a paper gift set for a very special girl and I have been working on that for the past week and I wanted to share what we are going to surprise the little girl with. Her mom really liked the Pottery Barn elephant that I drew and decided to have that as a theme and butterflies. Oh, and the girl's favorite color is lime green, so the photo album was my idea.

The whole gift set

A gift box for the little cross her mom got her

A gift bag to carry all the things

A photo album that has little butterflies, buttons and trees

A little sketchpad/journal with craft paper and stamped golden butterflies on each page.

A little correction- we added the name of the girl to the notebook as well, so here it is:



Soon I'll show you pictures of the cake as well!
