At long last (meaning about a month and a half delay), I’m here to show you what I made for Christmas gifts!
I got the opportunity to work on a wood lathe in the fall, so then I decided to make pens for my family and friends!
(Let’s have a moment of silence for the approximately 25 pen blanks I broke to make these six pens.)
(And we’re done.)
I made two portraits of my neph-dog for his ‘rents, but I think I only got a picture of one, my watercolor version. The other one was out of pencil and colored pencil.
For my dad, a lighthouse enthusiast, I also etched the Cape Lookout lighthouse onto the side of a cedar block!
And for my mom I also made a set of block printed tea towels, with my very own block printed doodle design!
Let’s have another look at those pens… Since I’m so very proud of them!
Happy Valentines Day!
