You are quite welcome. I cannot personally teach everyone how to make these items, but I hope that anyone who wants to make them will be able to with the instructions. These are the handouts from my classes. If anyone has problems or questions about the projects I'm just a posting away.
One question I'm always asked is about the iridescent paints I use on a lot of my small projects. Dick Blick has them by Jo Sonya in a 6 pack for not too much moola- like $12, I think. That is 6 different iridescent colors- small amounts, like an ounce, but we use tiny bits so it will last most people forever.
Happy carving-
Donna Menke
