Happy Little Trees and
Other Holiday Favorites
Awhile back, my son introduced me to the hypnotic splendor of
Bob Ross, the painter with the soothing voice who was famed for
his PBS series, “The Joy of Painting.” Although he passed away
in 1995, Bob lives on in broadcasts of his show, products like
socks and chia pets featuring his flamboyant hair, and his many
catchphrases. Oh, the catchphrases. Bob would stand at his easel
holding a huge palette and equally large brush, murmuring things like,
“Talk to the tree, make friends with it. There’s nothing wrong with having
a tree as a friend.” Or, “We don’t make mistakes. We just have happy
accidents.” Bob was really into happiness, as in, “We artists are a different
breed of people. We’re a happy bunch,” or, “We want happy paintings,” and,
yes, his friends the “happy little clouds” and “happy little trees.”
When I first saw Larry Green’s smiling tree ornament, I immediately
thought of Bob. It reminded me of his conviction that “It’s so important
to do something every day that will make you happy.” The ornament is
quick and easy, and there’s really no wrong way to carve it, so I think both
making it and giving it will make you (and the recipient) happy.
Trees not to your taste? There are plenty of happy projects in this
issue. Randy True’s Santa golf tee was inspired by a bet, and I bet you’ll
enjoy carving them. Lora Irish’s snowman is joyously splattered with
colorful paint-dot snow. Carolea Hower carves smiling Santas into
ordinary spoons. If a challenge makes you happy, try Dylan Goodson’s
realistic Santa, designed to resemble the classic Coca-Cola Claus.
Plus, there are plenty of projects that aren’t related to Christmas but
will make great gifts. It’s easy to personalize Clayton Johnson’s knotwork
plaque. “Game of Thrones” groupies will enjoy Tamera Seevers’ Dragon
Wand, and sports fans will appreciate Kevin Reid’s tray puzzle featuring
athletic equipment. We show you how to use power tools to carve bracelets
and a woodburner to turn a gourd into an oil lamp.
What’s making us particularly happy this issue is celebrating our
anniversary. It was 20 years ago this issue that Alan Giagnocavo and Roger
Schroeder published the first issue of
Woodcarving Illustrated.
In honor
of the occasion, we’ve compiled some of our favorite projects, tips,
memories, and moments from the past 80 issues. There was no
way to include all of the people, places, pieces, and projects
that have influenced and inspired the magazine over the
years, but we cherish and send a hearty thanks to all of
them. You have helped us prove that, as Bob Ross once
said, “The secret to doing anything is believing that you
can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong
enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.”
Happy Holidays!
