About the Author

Daniel Clay's route to chip carving was a circuitous one, beginning in 2005 when the desire to take a break from life as a professional musician led him to take a position as an apprentice boat builder at the Carpenter's Boat Shop on the coast of Maine. After stints in timber framing and kitchen cabinetry, followed by a decade in the video production business, he turned his attention to woodworking full time in 2015.

Along the way he taught himself chip carving, first aided by the books of Wayne Barton before engaging in a deeper, ongoing personal study of the craft in its various incarnations throughout the ages and around the world. He has written about chip carving for Fine Woodworking Magazine and also travels and teaches chip carving at venues around the US. Daniel designs and makes custom furniture, home decor items, and artwork, many of the pieces featuring his carving. In addition to woodworking he enjoys photography and making videos of his work process. You can find his work at www.danielclaywoodworking.com or on his Instagram account @danielclay.
Daniel lives and works in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Fun, cute, good value
Color: Pink
I got these for the toddler, who is living her best life as a princess. She is allowed to wear these for dress up and she absolutely adores them. I apply them to the apples of her cheeks, on the tip of her nose, and on her arms and ankles like fancy bracelets. At this rate, they won't last long, and because they are used for play, I end up pulling them off the rugs and upholstery for days afterward. It's like a game for mom! They are lovely and fun and she absolutely adores them. The only downstar is for the adhesive quality. Now, this might be just me because I received them during a severe winter storm and they stayed in the mailbox for several days of below zero weather, but the sticky backing peels off quite easily from many of them. It's easy enough to fix with the tweezers that are supplied, but you might want to pay attention to that detail. At bath time, I am finding many pieces of the tape no longer attached to a jewel. I don't know if my bunch were damaged because of the cold, but if you're planning to go to the club, I would bring extras. If you're using them for playtime, just beware that you might find them in all kinds of unexpected places. They definitely won't hold up to bath time, so take them off first, to avoid clogging up the plumbing.

Emerald Glow: The Ultimate Festival Essential
Color: Green, Color: Green
​I recently picked up these Green Face Gems for a festival, and I have to say, they are an absolute standout for anyone looking to level up their makeup game. The variety of shades in this pack is stunning; you get everything from a vibrant, electric lime to a deep, moody forest green that catches the light beautifully. Unlike some stickers that look flat or plastic, these have a high-quality multifaceted cut that mimics real emeralds, giving off a brilliant sparkle whether you’re under the sun or shifting strobe lights at a rave. ​The self-adhesive backing is surprisingly reliable. I was worried about them sliding off halfway through a humid outdoor concert, but they stayed firmly in place through hours of movement. Despite the strong grip, they didn't pull at my skin or leave a sticky residue when it was time to take them off. I also experimented with placing them in my hair—which looked incredible—and they held onto the strands much better than I anticipated. If you’re planning a themed look or just want to add a sophisticated pop of color to your eyes, these gems are a total win. They are easy to apply, comfortable to wear, and genuinely look like professional-grade body art. ​

Beautiful gems! However…
Color: Gold
Had to dock 2 stars because the tweezers are too flimsy to actually assist with applying the gems, which sucks because that was a huge selling point for me. Additionally, the glue sticks a little too well to the paper. Many gems detached from the adhesive, which made them useless if the objective is to apply the gems to your face. Still had to award a few stars because the ones that did manage to successfully pull from the paper without coming apart, stayed on my face for about 3-4 hours outside in the sweaty heat. I anticipated to lose a few but they survived and that impressed me!
