Woodcuts The mountain peaks that one can see in the western states are wonderful to behold....majestic, grand, guarding the farm lands and cities for miles around. They rise in all their glory with the morning sun. Their snows reflect the hues of the setting sun and their beauty invites us to the national parks surrounding them. Camping nearby fills spectators with a sense of majesty and awe. With a small piece of wood and a simple pen knife, you can create a woodcut. Stamp its design in any color to make an attractive print to frame. Or reproduce as many times as you wish as greeting cards. It will also be a sturdy, long lasting picture or design. Here is an example of a picture stamped with a woodcut you can reproduce. Sketch the picture or design on a soft piece of wood. Decide on a simple design at first. Carefully carve out your design with the blade away from you. Take your time. You will have a sturdy treasure that will not fade and will last for years. SUGGESTION; Be careful when you are using a sharp knife. Work slowly. Test the softness of the wood first. Leave Family and Projects page to check out Favorite Gifts
