A resin ornament made in an ice cream cone shaped silicone mold. The ice cream cone is faintly striped like a candy cane, which was painted on the back of the piece using striping tape and red paint. It was then coated in glitter paint before being strung and ready to hang on the Christmas tree.

In my first Video I made a Christmas Star by folding paper. No glue needed!
The Star’s made out of 30 pieces and I used a battery powered LED Light to light it when it hangs in the window during Christmas Time.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017.

My first public video on Youtube.
When I work with wood I usually do woodburning/pyrography art but this time I decided to also try something new. I recently learned that a thing called “intarsia” (a form of wood inlaying) existed and thought it would be the perfect challenge for me and my new scroll saw. This contest was really fun and I learned a lot of things to improve on for next time (including time management :D)! Thank you very much for hosting.

This year I’ve made a Christmas lantern. It’s mahogany and beech, based on a fairly traditional style lantern, and has a tea light inside to illuminate the design (though an LED tealight, as it’s very flammable!).
