Mrsn, nice work. Was the Xmas tree design your own? I liked them. Also, I have been thinking of flocking some of the Stocking/Trees/Etc Ornaments...Seems like a good idea esp for craft fair "look and touch" concept...Just a thought.

The christmas tree is not my design. I am pretty sure it came from one of the magazines, but I didn't see it in the stack next to my computer. I will keep looking and let you know!

Okay, I found the pattern.
It is in Creative Woodworks and Crafts - 2010 Ornamemt Special Issue
The article is called "Trim The Tree Ornaments" by Sue Mey (page 33 in the magazine)

I just cheked her website. They are also available there "Christmas tree ornaments #1"

the swoopy tear-drops, hearts, and wind-blown trees are from
Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts - Holiday Ornaments, Toys & Gifts Volume 2. "Cutting Contemporary Designs" by Sue Mey (page 24)

The long ones are from Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts - Holiday 2009 Issue. "Geometric Fretwork Ornaments" by Dale Helgerson (Page 52)

The round ornament with the star was made by "Scrollin USA" I am not sure where/when I downloaded the pattern.

all of these ornaments were 1/8" baltic birch plywood. I have also made some with 1/4" ply, but to me the thinner ones look better.
thanks for the compliments!

That may just solve a problem for me. I have a beautiful photo of a Mandarin Duck that I would like to produce but no wood comes in the right colors to do it justice. Still waiting for my saw. >:(

I use the oil paints in tubes and thin it with mineral spirits to the right consistency/look.  :)
