I have placed several carvings at the Idaho City Trading Post, in Idaho City. Lisa and Scott Jackson are highlighting local artists in their store and are willing to place their items in their store.
I put several of my western and animal themed carvings there, such as dogs, bears, cowboys, horses, clowns, and boots. The Idaho City Frontier Days festival is taking place the last weekend of June, so hopefully this will give me a chance to reach a new audience. I am looking forward to a great relationship with the Jacksons at the Idaho City Trading Post.
Stop in if you are in Idaho City. They are on Main Street, just across the street from the Visitor's Center, Donna's Place and near Calamity Jayne's restaurant.
Stop by and check them out at Idaho City Trading Post. These guys need a new home.
We just returned from the Tri-Cities Woodcarvers Rendezvous in Kennewick, Washington. What a great time we had meeting new folks, seeing some old friends, sharing a laugh or two with a great group of folks. I was able to teach a class on Chinese letters and a class on feathers.
This letter says peace in Chinese. I did some others but for the class this was perfect.
This feather (about 8" long) was a great project for carvers. I had about 11 people in the class. I actually ran out of blanks. Several others wanted a blank, so I am going to ship some up to Ivan Brown along with some other things he wanted. The wrap is red, and the feather is white, with soft black and burnt umber for the upper tip. The face in the middle is done with burnt umber and soft black.
The folks there at Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland) Washington, are some of the nicest people you would ever want to spend time with. We had a great time there going to their Rendezvous. If you want a no-pressure carving event, with some great instructors and awesome projects, check out the Rendezvous, in early June. You will have a great time.
A special thanks to Bob Gough, Lanny, Jerry and Judith Dilley, Ivan Brown, Arlene Spaulding, Barb Pentecost, Everett Koonts, Dave Disselbrett, Terry Pauley, Ron and Linda Lunde, and too many others to mention. It is a great time and we will definitely be back. This is our 5th year attending and learning.
Thanks, TCWC!
