DEXTER PIONEER ARTS FAIR

Join me at the Dexter Pioneer Arts Fair, Saturday,
March 19, 2011, Creekside Intermediate School,
2615 Baker Road, Dexter, MI 48130, from 10-4.
Admission is $3. I'll have lots of new birds and
spring and Easter items. Hope to see you there!

2011 BIRDS

I finally finished all the new birds I have been

carving and here they all are! Some are standing

versions of older hanging ones, but the rest are

brand new birds. I'm not sure if I will ever see

some of them in Michigan, but they are common

for some of my customers in different parts of

the US. Wish I could spot a painted bunting!

BIRD CARVINGS - NEW FOR SPRING!!!

I have been working on some new bird carvings for

spring and have almost finished 12 new birds! I have

painted 3 of them - the house finch, pine grosbeak,

and painted bunting, and hope to finish the other

9 today. The picture shows them in various stages

of "paintedness". Must be the sunny weather and

temps in the mid 50's that are getting my creative

juices flowing. Spring is in the air! I know winter

will be back next week, but almost all the snow is

gone from our yard. It is so exciting! Except that

it has brought mud, a normal part of spring in the

country. Ugh.

CHRISTMAS CARVINGS

I think I have photographed 99% (I am creating

new ones every day) of my Christmas carvings,

so I wanted to publish them on my blog.
