I work with several art mediums: clay, colored pencil, pastel, and wood, among others. Of those, wood tends to create the most unique/original pieces, since wood has its own Character: artistically speaking. Wood may have a knot or a grain that makes the cut react to its desired motion with the scroll saw or carving, making a personality to the “Snowman” distinct. Every one created is exclusive and I might add, so ‘Darn Cute’ too. Since I recently retired in August, I have had limited time to make these “Adorable Creatures,” as a result I have a limited supply of them.
Snowman are even reversible. They have slightly different looks on the opposite sides. The eyes and buttons are wood burned and their nose sticks out like a carrot. The snowmen are made out of Pine and the hats are made from either White Pine or Cedar. The variety of hats are; Baseball, Bonnet, Cowboy, Top Hat and Ranger. Cost is $25.00
Let me know at carvemyart@aol.com if you are interested at getting one. Thanks and as always “Keep On Creating!”
I added these two pictures because they depict an attitude a creative person explores. Something new and different/unique, yet still unsure how it will be perceived. “Love ?” Is a piece I created when I first started in 2015 and I incorporated the ? into the heart. It signifies putting the heart or someone struggling with their idea of putting their heart out to be different/unique/accepted: the vulnerability of one’s created art/love/feeling in the same context of Andy Warhol’s quote: implying create and “LET EVERYONE DECIDE IF IT’S GOOD OR BAD….” From all my Education, and Teaching I believe and know, That Art: Is good for the Mind and Soul.
Being accepted for an upcoming art show “Ornament Extravaganza” at the ArtCenter Manatee in November, I decided to get my inventory updated. That, and since there was an outside temperature of 95 degrees and a feels like (record) of 112 degrees, I decided to work in my air conditioned room rather than the outside shed. Message me if you are interested in anything you see. Be on the look out for my adorable snowman ornaments too…with very cool hats.
