The fact that I am not singing ABBA on a Greek Island wearing a Boho Chic orange skirt, platform heels, and a floppy hat while the world falls in love with me is criminal.

Wood engraving!! YAS.

[elliecliftlandsillustration]

Honestly, why on earth would you have ANOTHER collection of the Harry Potter series when Andrew Davidson has JUST recently done a stella job engraving the last lot! It's insulting really.

Blob bun in the oil.... no more now for a bit. My thumb may never recover.

Here we are, the first crap casualty, very pissed off about this. Serious cracks in the head and arm. Not at ALL sure how I'm supposed to save that part, I only Just saved the bowl, that's a whole new shape! I didn't want to make a flat bear but I think I'm going to have to. It's going to be really thin, I will make another but I just wanted one now, that was mine to use! I think green wood and where I've carved the spoon from the trunk was the issue?

My own spoon. Inspired by Brave, which incredibly sad but inspired me to get on with it. Which is why I chose to make MY spoon with a bear handle. Partially 3D handle.

Not even the final thing but look at its jaunty head!!

Pretty chuffed

I am never doing a coffee scoop again, it's got an impossible scoop/bowl. I can't do the inner corner!

I have started my wood carving/whittling journey.
