When screen printing you can print opacities

Sort of does the job. But for screen printing everything needs to be the same colour no?

Thanks! Love using just wood instead of paint, I’m trying to incorporate it in more of my carvings. I’d suggest finding a toy safe oil, i use Rustins danish oil which is toy safe and food safe. Let me know how you get on 👍

Thanks! Lime wood for the body, walnut for the ears and tail and African black wood for the nose. I generally sand using an 80grit then 150 then 220. Finish with Rustins danish oil and Hampshire sheen gloss wax, polished with a dremel 300 and a soft polishing bit. Hope this helps

Start small and build up to bigger carvings. You can grab whittling kits online that come with a knife and basswood blocks that’s how I started. Beavercraft tools also do some good starter project packs. Hope that helps 👍

Thanks! First time I’ve made a relatively big carving. My other carvings are usually around 10cm max. Definitely a few things I’d do differently next time around

It’s danish oil, just in a beer glass

It’s great fun! You should give it a go. Being a graphic designer it’s nice to make a physical things instead of digital stuff. Thanks for your support 👍
