Gerd C Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi! My name is Gerardo Corlay.I am from Mexico but living in Europe at the moment. My interest in small scale carving started many years ago, since I was little I got very interested in how antique and primitive tools were made. It might just be my hobby and I end up giving my carvings as presents to family, but I also sell custom carvings from time to time. Starting when finding an old bone in a farm, I have learned a lot for being a self taught craftsman. I would have never imagined that I will be able to make some of the crafts I am able to make now. All my pieces and crafts are handmade, I have no industrial equipment or big machines to work with, just a dremel and I used to have a polishing wheel back in Mexico. Crafts I have made: Dreamcatchers, earings, necklaces, bracelets, decorations, small sculptures, lamps, knives, notebooks, silver jewelry, tomahawks. Materials that I have used include: Amber, bone, meteorite, silver, brass, wood, steel, mammoth tusk, stone, horn, antler, ostrich eggshell, leather and even coconut. I am looking for means to increase my knowledge and improve my skills while doing so. You can take a look at my crafts on facebook (CAN Handcrafts) or instagram (@americanhandcrafts) for reference. I appreciate the opportunity, best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
