Issabella and Dalia - thank you fo your nice words.

I am still trying out new approaches with chisel/carve and I thought if Celtic knots work with glass then why not wood too ...

OMG, very effective carving on those Celtic Knots. I did one too as I liked yours so much.

Great work omg and Issabella! I have to make sure and ask... what are we using here? Alpha Shine or Chisel/Carve or both?

Dalia, thanks.

I have used in this last outcome "Alpha shine"

Thank you Issabella. Love the result, the perspective and the shadow - very nicely done.

Dalia - I am using 'chisel/carve' exclusively in this thread, but its up to other individuals to decide what they wish to use.

Each step I take with my GIMP threads is just part of a learning curve, sometimes on the level but often very steep

Dalia, It is an ingenious idea and the result is great!
Pat, your cute kitten is so nice in wood. Well done.

2-ton what made you think of that?! I still think she's beautiful even with her wooden attire. :hehe

Pat, so good to see your work. Absolutly love that kitten; it's perfect!

Issabella, Dalia: Thank you very much.

2-ton, you did such a very nice work on the queen picture. I like it a lot and it's great as good you did it! :hi5

Dalia, the idea came from the new internet rage of turning the Queen's 'green screen' outfit into all sorts of other things. I don't know how to do 'green screen' so I just did wood. I also did clear gem but I liked the wood better.

2-ton, I think it's great. I did see the Queen in her "neon" green outfit on the news. :hehe

2-ton - I love the idea of a wooden Queen ... :hehe

Pat625 - once again your minimalist approach is all that is needed to get the message through ... well done again.

So I have adopted such minimalism; basically just carved circles ...

OMG: Thank you. I am striving to do more complicated images. You do so many things, all of them amazing.

I did a very simple outcome, but I like it.

Issabella - nice one that; looks like we are both looking at alternative methods to carve wood ...

Issabella: I like your outcome. Very nice. The birds show up very nicely with your background.
I like yours also, OMG. Was this done with all Chisel and carve?
