  • Julie, you are my source for all things Carve. Could you do a post on carving tools? I see tools in the photos that look nothing like my Speedball set. What are they? How do you get them? What happened with the “new tool” you were trying out? Thanks!

  • So much awesomeness!! I love the infinite variety of carvings–so cool to see what what different brains and hands can make from the same simple supplies. I suppose the same could be said about paint and brush, but the multitude of creations that can be made AFTER the initial creation! Just amazing!
