Day 30: Carve by H

Do you 'carve' snow? Or is it more 'sculpting'? Either way, this is not what you expect to see in the middle of the city one morning. But see it I did, and photographed it just after that.

Day 30: Carve by Becca

This is a candle holder that Mike's boss gave him when he left Bradford Woods in 2004 (and the location of which we are getting married in less than 5 weeks!) It is made from a fence post originally from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia...near the Appalachian Trail. I have always admired people who can carve wood...it is a beautiful art.

Day 30: Carve by Taylor

When I was driving home from work today, I was thinking that I would show off this sweet bear I carved out of a bar of soap about 5 years ago when I worked for the Boy Scouts that was still sitting in the glove box in my truck. And then I found it and realized that its not as sweet as I thought it was (from the front anyways, it does have a sweet behind)

So then I busted out some stamps I made a few years back for letterboxing that never made it to a location, and just ended up living under my desk in a box. This one is of the Swedish Chef, but you know that, because you know Bill from Pawtucket. It was carved by hand using an exacto knife and using some Steadler carving material (think oversized white eraser). I wanted to show off my topless princess leia playing guitar hero stamp made for a NWWBW challenge, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. you can see the printed version here though if you like. NOTE - the nipples are true and they will entice you.

Day 30: Carve by Em

This one was hard for me. If it were winter, I might have found a ski hill and photographed a skier carving her way down the mountain. It's not winter. And there are neither skiers nor snow to carve to be found. So, I thought I would go up to campus and find a picnic table that someone had carved into. High schoolers do that, right? Well, apparently not. Every picnic table I came across was in pristine condition. Hmmm ... How about the artist who carved her name into the bottom of my favorite coffee mug ... it's really more etched than carved, though. Then I remembered that we have this. Have you seen these? They are made by a company called "Willow Tree." Little figures carved out of wood. Willow wood? I don't know.

Day 30: Carve by J.

I instantly thought of big chunks of meat, but we don't really have any in our refrigerator. We did have a tomato though.


Larger version.

Day 30: Carve by Nick

Took some liberties with the theme though I do carve my face up pretty good when I shave. Having coarse hair is one of the perils of a Czech heritage.

Day 30: Carve by CC

I get really mad when kids carve their names into my desks.  I would have never carved my name on a desk.  I am weird about destroying other people's property.  However, I did take this wood off of J's desk.

Day 30: Carve by Missy

i carved a heart into some wood... with a key...
something so romantic & old-fashioned about the act of carving initials into a tree... it seems rare these days, but i always love seeing it...
