Another time where I was way too long quiet, nothing to report here about any artistic endeavors, even though I started to attend monthly drawing classes ...  and I was very happy that one of my old customers remembered my Special Creations and purchased one of my carvings as a Christmas present (for a person who has everything!).Unfortunately, my carvings are no longer available at the Blue Moose store. 

I am trying to get into the spirit of carving again, trying to get more motivated by attending our monthly carving nights with NCWCC... just not enough time to get all done, still kind of in survival mode!

But I am hanging in there, and I will carve again...  better,  as I have a lot of Cottonwood Bark around my home!! 

Happy Easter to all :) ... still working on carving an Easter bunny!!

 2022-September

I am very excited: one of my loyal customers has purchased one of my SpecialCreations Fantasy Castles as a gift for a dear friend of hers. I guess I better start getting my creative juices back in action and start carving again... What motivation :)

Let your imagination go wild... who lives in there? What secret thoughts might be hiding behind those walls, those windows?? Hide your sorrows, your anxieties....

 I am still in action, not much time or energy to carve, a few carvings started, none finished yet though... but at least I try again to be part of our monthly Northern Colorado Woodcarvers' Club Meetings .... Enjoy my somewhat outdated website... still many carvings looking for a good home, inspiring to wonderful hidden stories for buyers with amazing fantasies, trying to hide their inner thoughts and dreams :) 

Happy Fall! Time is running, already again nearly Thanksgiving! No snow yet, but another Holiday Season is upon us, time to find that special gift for your loved one! Check my website and contact me for availability, still have some carvings of my fantasy cottonwood cottages... my little dream creations where you can hide your inner thoughts, your sorrows .... they are available with backing or just simply hang them on the wall. Looking forward to hearing from you....

 March 31st, 2021: thought I'd better write a post today and not tomorrow, so you don't think it's an April Fool's entry!!

Life is good, we are both inocculated against Covid, but still wearing our masks... I still have not found time nor the energy to carve or have my creative juices flow again.... just not the energy I used to have and so many other things to take cate of! but I am not giving up.... trying to get going again :) 

Happy Easter to all my friends and family all over the world.... miss you all and look forward to seeing you again <3

October 9th, 2020: Welcome to my quite inactive website during these very strange times!

Wish I could say that I had plenty of time to carve in these Covid19 days, but NO.... hard to find creative energy as I have been very tired and also quite busy with other things. At least finally managed to hang up some of my carvings that still would like to find new owners! 

Paul and I have been doing lots of day trips for his DNA butterfly research, nice to be socially isolated out in nature! But that is now also harder with fall's lower temperatures and all the smoke from the horrible fires not only in CA, WA and OR, but now also here in CO, very close west of Fort Collins! ...  and now also in WY!! My son in MT also had a fire west of his small town, and they have been inundated with smoke in their little valley as well! The only positive: it creates amazing sunrises and sunsets!

So we are plugging along, hanging in there, and feel lucky to have the internet for virtual meetings and "whatsapp" to keep in touch with family who makes time to keep in touch :) Hope you all are doing well and find ways to keep busy and healthy in our isolation. 

Welcome to 2018

 

It has been a busy year, so not too much time to carve! But I still am working hard at finding more ideas to spread the art of cottonwood bark carving!
Above displayed one of my recent carvings,
"La Montanara" (23.2cm= 9.2"),
which already found a new home.

 

Send me an email if you are interested in one of my  carvings, or check out what I have on consignment at the

"Blue Moose",

a wonderful gift store in Fort Collins.

       
"Chateau des Reves" (17.6cm= 6.85")
