Wood carving and cream pots

Mar 11 2017

Aunty Biscuit is really excited as Great Aunty Biscuit has sent her a set of wood carving chisels and a book on whittling as a birthday present.  This is something that she hasn't tried before.  it is veiwed with slight trepidation by some around her as being left handed she looks horrendously clumsy whilst peeling vegetables with a kitchen knife.  She has promised that she will be very mindful of safety when she starts experimenting.  She is also eyeing up an empty cream carton with a view to papiere mache it into a small plant pot holder.  This confused me as I thought paper went soggy when wet so wouldn't be ideal, but it was explained to me about PVA glue and varnish, so I'm now waiting to see how long it takes her to start it and how it turns out and whether she will wood carve or potato print the finished pot .  I have been very charitable and donated one of my foil food trays as a glue holder for the project (donated is perhaps a bit strong, had it purloined is closer to the mark, but I am magnanimous in these matters).
