Good morning, Jode~
It was 14 below over the weekend - a good time to stoke the stove and make some woodchips and sawdust. Three warm bodies and single-glazed sashes made for a heavy coat of frost inside.
I was teaching a couple from Connecticut to carve and paint a pair of Snipe. I had never carved this species before so I drew up some fresh patterns. It had been decades since I last held a Snipe - but Dave Speer helped me out with the size.
In the interest of time, we used acrylics to paint them. Rick and Sabrina headed back to the Nutmeg State with their next carving projects dancing in their heads......and I am thinking of carving a Snipe or 2 myself.....
All the best,
SJS
