Woodcarvings
Woodcarving is a four-generation tradition in our family. While working part time for my mother painting her woodcarvings, I have created my own. I originally start with an idea drawn on paper that I turn into a pattern. It's then cut out of wood and carved and painted with acrylic artist's paint. With ears, tails, feet, etc. added last. Each piece is handmade one at a time so slight variations will occur. The result- an heirloom quality woodcarving that is made to last. Although durable, my carvings are not intended as toys for young children.
