Carving on vacation

Nothing like #woodcarving and watching the sun go down over a beautiful valley of trees with only the sounds of tree frogs and crows in your ears. Back porch of the Rose cabin @springwoodcabins for the beautiful view! #outdoorstudio #driftwood #cottonwood #woodcarving #woodcarver #handcarved #carving #cottonwoodbark #woodspirirt #greenman #clevelandartist #flexcutknives #naturespirits #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #beckycrane #flexcut #flexcuttools #beautifulohio #ohiooutdoors #hockinghills @myhockinghills

I am not 100% sure that I am done with this painting, but at least I made decent progress today.

Skeleton Leaf work

View this post on Instagram

An embarrassing number of months later, I am finally getting around to painting and mounting so I can put my skeleton leaf piece together. Hoping to have it and a handful of the other black line pieces that I have been showing lately all framed up by the end of this weekend. 🤞 #scherenschnitte #papercutting #paperart #papercraft #scherenschnitte #cutpaperartist #cutbyhand #originalartwork #papercutsstudio #papercutsstudioart #beckycrane #leavesfalling #leaf #intothewoods #natureart #artgirlsofig #artistsofcleveland

Dropped off my work at the #logcabingallery this evening. Can’t believe this exhibit is starting this coming weekend! A lot of my #woodcarved #cottonwood pieces will be there, including a handful making their public debut! If you haven’t been, it is a beautiful area, and there are a lot of really cool artists’ works on display. Hope to see you out! #logcabingallerypeninsula #carving #handmade #woodspirit #greenman #intothewoods #peninsulaohio #cuyahogavalley

Breaking Free

Breaking Free, starting work on the painting and figuring out matting options. Painting needs a little bit more work, but I am happy with the color scheme and the concept so far at least. #papercutsstudioart #originalartwork #cutpaper #handmade #handcut #excelblades #artistsofcleveland #artgirlsofig #beckycrane #papercutting #scherenschnitte #paperart #papercraft #originalart #excelblades #wip #workinprogress
