It was hard for me to resist taking a photo of this mural in Salmon, Idaho!

The potter at Hale Farm and Village preparing the clay for the wheel!
This was my first carving, which I started on a beach in Florida in 1992! I finished it around 202! I was not satisfied with the beak, so I cut it off at least two times and redid it, though not satisfied, I set it on a ledge on our enclosed porch for 4 years. In December I decided to “remodel” it. I cut the head and started carving a new head!
This is that carving with a new head, and a new paint job! I think it is an improvement but not perfect, but much better. I thought it was interesting that I started this carving on a warm beach in Florida, and finished the remodel in Ohio during a snowstorm!
These are the ornaments I carved and painted. National Wood Carvers Association will be giving the ornaments they receive from many carving clubs to Children’s Hospitals or Care Centers. I am a member of the Wilderness Center Carving Club in Wilmot, OH.
Oops, sorry for the short depth-of-field on the second character! Have a great day, and may everything be in focus for you!! Several mornings after our staterooms were cleaned we had these surprises on our bed! Nice gesture!
This painting intrigued me! I wish I knew the thoughts of the artist, because it is still a mystery to me!
After 6 hours of painting!
What the roughout looked like after I carved in some details.
This was on E Washington Street in Goshen, Indiana, U.S.
This was at the annual Ohio Decoy Carvers and Collectors Association/Great Lakes Decoy Association Event held in Independence, Ohio.
