Wonderful Customers

What would we do without those treasured customers? It would be a pretty grim life in my estimation. They motivate me and inspire me to continue in my creative endeavers. One of my very favorite customers has a big collection of my one of a kind Sanat stars,Santa carvings and needle felted Santa ornaments. I was so honored to think Kathi decorated an entire tree with my ornaments and then she called the tree "Glorious Gloria tree". Yes, our customers are to be treasured! Thank you Kathi and thank you to all my wonderful customers.

I just finished a rabbit door greeter. I am listing it on Ebay tonight. And on artsaflutter my Queen of Hearts is up for sale.

Christmas is over but I am still working on Santa's

It seems like every year I continue to make Santa's through out Jan. I vow I will continue through out the winter. "I need to stock pile" I say to myself. But several weeks after Christmas it seems I have thought of rabbits. (my second favorite thing to create). I have been making Santa's since May! You would think I would tire of them. Maybe I would if I had them stock piled,but I don't have any left. So Sat. I decided to carve several. I guess it is my way to calm myself after all the hussle and bussle of Christmas.
I listed 2 of my carvings on Ebay last night.

Nearly Christmas

Well, I think I am finshed Christmas shopping. I still have more wrapping to do. Every year I vow to like wrapping and every year it turns out to be a chore. We are in the BIG chill in Vt. Below zero at this time of year is unreal.
I have 2 Santa's listed on Ebay. I made a OOAK original make do. It is a folky Santa on a moon sitting on a wooden abstract Christmas tree. It is one of my favorite pieces.

Have a nice day and stay warm.

My Santa Carvings

I have probably told you all this before..... Fifteen years ago I took Scandinavian flat palne carving classes at Fletcher Farms in Ludlow,Vt. It is a 57 year old artist school. Ludlow is a ski town but in the middle of it all is a great school that teaches all types of art. In the summer teachers from all over the country come to teach. My teacher Harley Refsal taught me the 200 year old art of Scandinavian carving. I learned on bass wood but I have devised my own method on clay. It is less labor intensive and I can still do what I love to to do even with arthritis.
I will be listing some on Ebay tonight.
