Wood Crafts


I though I'd give my husband some time here too. Since we can't be outside, it's way too cold right now, working in the gardens we're both busy at our crafts. Ron loves working with wood and I love how it looks and feels. Lately he's been making some really nice bowls. I'm hoping I can get a few to give as gifts. But He's putting most of them on his Etsy site for sale! You can see his work at RonH.etsy.com

This bowl was carved of hickory. He calls it his folded bowl. The picture doesn't do it justice. There are more from different angles on his site.

Handmade for the Holidays

This year I'm going back to either making or purchasing handmade gifts for my family and friends. If you haven't found it yet, there is a wonderful site called Etsy.com where really talented artists and crafters from all over the world sell only handmade items. There really is something for everyone there. And why not buy directly from the maker.

I like to work with stones and copper mostly. Love garden art, but also do other things. In the spring I grow and sell herb plants from my home greenhouse (licensed) as well. My newest listing on etsy is a set of 5 teal colored Brazilian agate ornaments. They can be used as suncatchers after the holidays. Please visit thymesense.etsy.com and take a look.
