CharlaM Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi, just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I've started carving bone a year ago, pretty much self taught. I've watched a lot of video's and some books as well.I've spent a lot of money buying carvings from other artists until I realized that I could probably make it myself and that's how it started.I look forward to learning more from others, especially I'm interested in lashings and doing inlays now.I hope you enjoy the 4 photo's I've downloaded.

Heidi L Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Also, your story of deciding to begin carving yourself after admiring other pieces is very similar to mine. I can see myself spending a small fortune on all of the focal stone beads that I find, so instead I am going to try my hand at making my own!

CharlaM Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hi Heidi, I'm looking forward to seeing your work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi L Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thank you Charla! I am working on getting my small set up going now, and will post once I get some pieces going! I have spent some time in Hilo on a couple of trips to the Big Island. Absolutely love that entire area but there is a great charm to Hilo that you don't find anywhere else. I hope to return and visit again one day! Kindest, Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
