Re: Chip Carving

pick up a small compass (divider) and play with it, finding out how to get 6 points 8 points 12 etc in a circle, and a clear 6 inch ruler, a 4mm lead pencil and an eraser and just start drawing...draw symmetrically, whatever you put on one side, put the same on the other...you can get into random things later....it is really fairly easy, but just to sit down and think of an idea?? I just start with something, anything and build around it, sounds hard but isn't!
