From guest to member,

[whittlewomyn]

Hello, i have been a guest here for about a year, i got the guts to join this week.
I love this forum, it has been so helpful, interesting, funny and most of all inspiring.
I am an amateur/beginner, don't know much, not much help, but i love whittling, carving, but most of all, i love wood..........lol
I am from WA, used to carve yonks ago in my high school years, i have only taken back it up in the last year and only made a dozen or so pieces, they are not that good, i do not display them, i have showed a couple of people(that know nothing about woodcarving/whittling) and they like them.............haaaa.
I will keep chipping away, mainly for my own satisfaction, love of wood and what i do...lol
I have a mental health disability, so it is part of my own personal therapy. Of course my counsellor is my encouragement.............(she is one that knows nothing about woodcarving/whittling)lol.
Nice to be here.

Hi Whittle womyn. Don't be scared of us. I was, and still am on the scale of things, a biginner. They only say nice helpful things here. And you know they really like you when you appear in one of Allan's jokes.

You little sculptures are great.

Hi WhittleWoman,

I still have one of the first picture frames I ever made. It's totally out of square, has very gappy mitres and while it may not hang in pride of place in my home, I will never get rid of it, because I look at it, laugh, blush and remember/appreciate where I started from. I also have a 'fred flintstone' box, it may look great, but there are so many mistakes in it, another little reminder that each mistake is a whole heap of learning, oh, and fun

Sometimes I reckon making a mistake is like finding/earning another grey hair or wrinkle - it means we are living and experiencing life to the fullest. - well, in my humble opinion anyway.

cheers
Wendy
