Well, I did OK at the fair. I received a blue ribbon (1st place) for my Inca mask, a red ribbon (2nd place) for my woodspirit walking stick and a white ribbon (3rd place) for my cowboy scene. I will post some pictures later on the walking stick. The mask and the cowboy scene are in previous posts. Check them out.
All in all, I did OK. I would have liked to have all blues, but considering the competition I was up against I think the results were good enough to live with. I did get beat by Mark Dettmer, a local woodcarver who does some fantastic things, and I tied with Gene Fuller, a local Caricature Carvers of America member, although I believe his was better than mine.
The Idaho Woodcarvers Guild will be demonstrating at Woodcraft on Saturday, September 13. Come on out between 9 and 4 to visit with us. We will be using Flexcut tools to demonstrate how to do some woodcarving. We would love to see you. And if you are interested in learning how to carve, we will have information on classes, instructions and how to join the club.
See you there.
