This is an order I finished and sent out last week

This is an order I finished and sent out last week. I’m liking both the painted and unpainted versions of this but that pop of colour makes me happy😎 #woodcarving #dragonflyart #whimsicalart #newfoundlandandlabrador

I’ve been working on a batch of orders and thought I would post a few of the dragonfly carvings that have gone to their new homes😊 I love before and after pics so I included the unpainted versions. #woodcarving #whimsicalart #newfoundlandandlabrador #dragonflyart

I’ve finished painting the dragonfly carvings! 😊 I experimented with the background colours a little and opted for the dark. I think the colours really pop. I’m happy to say the large carving in the middle and the dragonfly with cattails are both sold. Looking forward to getting started on the next batch. #reliefcarving #dragonflyart #woodcarving #whimsicalart

Been playing with my knives and ended up with this range of low to high relief dragonfly carvings. I really had a lot of fun with these! Made me feel summery☺️☀️ The largest carving is my interpretation of a bugs eye view of the busy forest floor. I will post final pics after burning a few details and painting. #woodcarving #dragonflyart #whimsicalart #reliefcarving

Thought I would add a little colour to the midwint

Thought I would add a little colour to the midwinter view with this group of windowsill owls😊. I had so much fun with these! As you can see “Love” is the theme so they work for Valentine’s Day or simply “just because”. The carvings in the second picture can be personalized with first initials. Feel free to DM me and I will be happy to provide more details. #woodcarving #handpainted #owllove #valentines

Another “Owl Love” carving in progress 🥰 I’m having so much fun with these larger windowsill pieces! I will be working on a few smaller pieces over the weekend and this batch will be ready for wood burning and painting. #owllove #valentines #woodcarving

Took advantage of some down time over the holidays

Took advantage of some down time over the holidays to replenish shop supplies. Just finished making 100+ burlap bags for my carvings. Of course all of this was under the watchful eye of my QC department! Sew intense! 😅 #workshop #woodcarving #burlapbag

I loved carving this little “windowsill” owl.

I loved carving this little “windowsill” owl. I just followed the curve of the limb for this guy’s quizzical posture. As soon as I carve the eyes I pencil them in so I know who I’m working with😊 Can’t wait to see him painted! #woodcarving #owls #newfoundlandandlabrador #handcarved

I’m back in my chair/zen zone/happy place working on another batch of carvings😊 Next week when I finish carving...I’ll stretch my legs and move over to my other chair/zen zone/happy place where I will paint them❤️ #woodcarving #workshop #happyplace #handpainted

Just finished this batch of “owlsicles” plus the little owl ornament. The second and third owls with the daisies are Sold (thanks so much😊🙏). These are carved from a single birch limb and are hand painted using watercolours. I add a little look of wear using fine sandpaper and finish with a protective coat of matte sealant. If you see something you like please message me and I will be happy to send you the details. #woodcarving #whimsicalart #owls #newfoundlandandlabrador

I just put the finishing touches on my carved snow

I just put the finishing touches on my carved snowman ornaments! To give them that “discovered in an old trunk in the attic” look I lightly rough up the new paint with fine sandpaper and apply an antiquing coat of oak stain. Each carving is one of a kind so if you are looking for a unique gift this Christmas please message me for details. I will be happy to help you 😊 Please note: My work is carved from birch trees and most of my products still have the bark intact. Therefore I can only ship within Canada at this time. #woodcarving #ornaments #whimsicalart #snowman

Working on another batch of ornaments. My new “Owlsicles” sold quickly! Thanks so much for your orders! 😊🙏 I love carving these so thought I would share some pics of one I’m just finishing. This branch has a perfect bend in it that gives this little guy his shy posture! Scroll through to check out some tiny knife work at the bottom of the carving! 😅 #woodcarving #owls #christmasornaments #whimsicalart
