    Hi Hen,

    Imagine that it is in layers, messes with your brain a bit, but draw it all up on the same plain then to get the relief remove material from the top, by removing background by default it raises the fore ground. Practice a bit on some scrap before embarking on the main project. and if ya stuff up incorporate it into the design!


    Cheers and happy tapping

    How do the needles and cones get into the act? Before or after the carving?

    A picture of the work so far might help to get more advice.

    Cheers,
    Joe
