”A Line of Infinity” - 10 Years of My Chip Carving Journey
This is a pattern about my chip carving journey; this is a pattern about what happened or about those dreams that will never come true; this is a pattern where each chip has its own infinity line; this is a pattern that has a beginning - a compass - but no end.

How can cutting paper help you in chip carving? When cutting paper, there is no need to keep in mind the grain direction (paper does not have them) so you can hone your technique of leading a knife when carving rounded parts on wood or those facets that go along the grain and against the grain at the same time, and undercut them in one motion 💭 . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #design #chipcarver #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nF8AoCJ84/?igshid=w7kzm2payv0l
One of the challenges in chip carving, when you are just starting to carve, is to understand where the tip of the knife is currently is and how deeply you undercut this or that facet. Sometimes, but at the initial stages almost always, you think that you didn’t push the tip of the knife deep enough into the wood and you would have to do it a little deeper.. I suggest you, if you have such "problems", to do an experiment: draw several triangles of different sizes (not necessarily, of course, as large as the first one on the picture), make stop cuts inside each of them, and then start to undercut the facets a little bit, one by one until they pop out. And you will see that there is no need to put so much pressure on the knife and push it deep into the wood to completely remove one facet when carving the usual sized chips 💭💛 . {carved in basswood} . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #chipcarver #design #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5cSg4xi7jq/?igshid=lqiz21a0vr1w
One of my favorite spreads in the book 💛 I would like to say thank you for all your kind and warm words you wrote me under a post where I revealed my secret project 📙 I remember, I was writing that post with shaking hands and excitement in the soul 🙈 And thank you to those who bought a copy of the book or pre-ordered it - I really hope you will like it and can find something new, useful and interesting in it 💛🍁 . . . . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #chipcarver #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5aCm3kiSqe/?igshid=1am1kp6aw1eu1

Started working on a new box, and I already have a name for it - it's called "Autumn Leaf" 💛🍁 . {carved in basswood} . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworkingwoman #woodworking #craft #designer #chipcarver #maker #design #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SCPB5iO4a/?igshid=1sygt1c9m17h5
MY PROJECT UNDER THE CODE NAME "ANNUAL" IS NO LONGER A SECRET
I really wanted this to happen in my life someday. Someday, when I would be unconditionally ready for this.
Almost two years ago, I was asked to write a tutorial book based on a creation of a certain number of projects, in my case, these are patterns. Before answering anything to this question - “yes” or, such an option was also possible, “no”, I had a couple of questions for myself, because I always try to be honest not only with others, but, first of all, with myself, so the conversation "with me myself" has taken place immediately, with no hothead and, of course, in silence. Now you know what I answered on those questions, but here are a few thoughts that I learned from this conversation with myself and would like to tell you. If there would be no me, my thoughts, my ideas of how to carve, this book would not exist. And I would not be upset. If I do something, then I try to always find my path without looking around - it matters to me, I need it, otherwise I would not do that. Because, I believe, you do not need to take every opportunity that comes to your way, even if that's writing a book, when it’s not a logical continuation of your path, but its destruction. What's your's will never miss you. That’s how I see and feel it, because I do not want, for example, my book to be just a simple set of rules on how to carve a particular chip.
I really wanted this to happen in my life, but I could not even think that I would be ready so soon.
p.s. If you like chip carving and would like to look at it through my eyes, then you are welcome, welcome to the world of chip carving!
Looking for interesting details and combinations for my future patterns by carving many different sketches 💛💭 . {carved in basswood} . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworkingwoman #craft #maker #designer #chipcarver #design #woodcarving #woodcarver #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B5CogWYC-9E/?igshid=1xoazpxrxt3kq

A sketch of the pattern idea that came to me today; the base that I would like to transform into something more detailed 💭💛 . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #chipcarver #design #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hbBtECKzo/?igshid=d25752n07i1d

🍁How "to highlight" some interesting shape in the pattern, but at the same time, to smooth out clear edges, which may not be needed in this or that case? I came up with such an idea today: first, measure out the thickness that you want to carve around the desired shape, divide it in half and carve the part that is closer to the side of the shape as a four-sided chip (picture on the top). And the rest part carve as a straight-wall chip at an angle of almost 90 degrees, trying not to touch so much the outer side of a four-sided chip (picture on the bottom). It turned not so rounded, and looks interesting. What do you think? :) . . . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #chipcarver #design #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Kpkeyic6m/?igshid=181vsjxia3t7m
A little bit of my thoughts (probably, I should, in some sense, remind me myself these words from time to time): ▪️Complex is not something that you should be afraid of; it should not stop you. Not now, when you are probably just starting to carve, or sometime in the foreseeable future. In general, there is no complex thing that could not be divided into parts, even if not literally. One complex is always made up of many simple ones. What you are learning now, for example, the simplest chips like straight-wall chips or two- and three-sided chips, are important in what and how you will do later. That is why it is so important not to miss these initial, and sometimes, boring steps, so as not to get confused in the simple parts of the complex one in the future 💭 . . . . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #chipcarver #design #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HjKUOCEun/?igshid=19gs5dq2oztps
The other day I was looking for some new information about sharpening tools and such, and accidentally stumbled upon one of my last patterns on some page on the Internet. And one or two of the comments to it said: "it could not be carved by a person, the author of this work is a CNC machine". Okay, okay, since when a machine can be an author and have imagination? Did I miss something? 😧 Anyway, those comments made me laugh, thanks to them 😂 and also made me thank myself that it is not in vain that I practice my carving and my spatial thinking every day 🙌🏻 . . . . . . . . . #chipcarving #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingwoman #craft #designer #maker #design #chipcarver #woodcarver #woodcarving #differencemakesus https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_3A7nC-ig/?igshid=nsf2zt3veiyc
