Welcome to my blog!
This homepage will link you to my three areas of crafting for you wood carving, wood burning, copper wire jewelry making, wood craft painting, gourds, and other fun craft projects.
For each craft shown below you will find the general craft topic followed by the list of free, online projects and tutorials posted here on LSIrish.com for your enjoyment. Currently we have over 600 pages of free patterns, free step-by-step projects, free techniques, and free how-to’s for your carving, pyrography, jewelry, and crafting fun.
Also listed with each craft area are the published books, by Lora S. Irish (me), that are available through my affiliated links at Amazon.com. Your purchase of my crafting books is what supports the free, online projects here at LSIrish.com. Thank you!
