Carved Mirror Frame

I know I'm in danger of blowing my own trumpet a bit too much on here, but I wanted to show you all the mirror I had made for my wife.


My wife can be tricky to buy for so I'm always trying to think of something I can either make for her or buy. I've also been trying to learn to carve lately, something I've always wanted to do, and I thought it might be an ideal time to make my wife something small and complete a little carved project.



It's only simple, carved on lime wood (from a tree that once grew in the grounds of Hereford Cathedral) and the design itself isn't mine but part of the online course I'm doing, but I enjoyed making it and my wife is pleased with it.

  1. Nothing wrong with sharing your craft with the world. Like you say your design gained inspiration elsewhere and will in its turn contribute to inspire others. That's how humans learn and build their capacity for creativity. Keep showing us I say.

  5. Thats fantastic. I like how the four corner designs are so uniformly carved. And the fact of the origins of the wood.
