My Name
Lynette S. Losey

Old but new pic as of 11/2/08. My club members might not recognize me as my hair has been short for a few years now but it was th eonly one of me I had. Too many people thought I had carved the beautiful bear bust and thought I wish..... it was just one I admired.

How and when I got started woodcarving
When I was little my grandfather whittled and he gave me a pocket knife and I would try to do what he did. He did not carve. I worked in a hospital with a gentleman who is an awesome wood carver and bought some carving knives and did a rough Americana bunny. Nothing to write home about. That was about 10-15 years ago. Looking for someone to sharpen my knives and having no luck I looked for a wood carving club in hopes they could tell me where to go. Belleville Holzschnitzers is where I ended up. Don- my teacher in the club threw away several of my caving knives as they were junk. I have been in the club almost a year. LOVE it and love the members.

I enjoy these types of woodcarving
Still a Noobie! But want to do the Wood spirits. Actually nothing is disinteresting so will try all I can get my hands into.

I enjoy carving these things
Anything tiny!

I'd like to learn more about
Anything to do with carving! Want to do wood spirits and some character carving. New want to do is bark carvings! They are gorgeous.

I attend these woodcarving clubs
Belong to Belleville Area Holzschnitzers in Belleville Illinois.

Here's what else I enjoy
I am a Certified Doll Doctor. Have been a miniaturist since I was a teen. I am a Miniature Teddy Bear Artist. Love miniatures. Collect many things including bears, penguins and much too much to mention. I also have a passion for trains- the real ones I rode on as a child with engine and caboose and all the milk stops in between. Miniature of course!

An avid reader and amateur writer. Love to draw but am not very good. Oldest granddaughter and grandson are fantastic artists.

If there is a craft I haven't tried I will when I find out about it. knit, crochet, sew needlework etc.

How to contact me about commissions
Noobie here. No one wants my work........yet!

Hi Lynnette, you left a comment and question on one of my pics which was a greenman woodburning.  The greenman was woodburned onto a thin 1/4" piece of red cedar and was finished off with a simple acrylic spray which really brought out the color of the cedar. Thanks for looking.

Love your carvings. Feel like I could wear the boots.


Lynett


Thanks for the complement. The idea wasn't original, but I added the woodburning on the sides of the boots to make them look real.
