Most recent Christmas carvings

This weekend's craft show went well, but left me with plenty of carvings. No problem, I've got some more shows on the horizon.

There's always more wood to carve!

Hearts & Crafts Winter show

Today's craft show was a success! From 11am to 5pm at Java's, Rochester NY, myself and about 15 other vendors (correction: 24 vendors!) showed our wares. I'd like to thank everyone involved in the show, especially Lisa and Marisa, the ladies responsible for organizing the event. It was a good time, and many of my carvings are on their way to new homes.



Table space was limited due to this being an indoor show in the cozy confines of a coffeehouse. To capitalize on this, I threw together a vertical display rack from a telescoping wreath hanger and some 8-gauge wire. Tan duct tape did the holding. The contraption worked like a charm.

Hearts & Crafts 3

This Sunday was the third Hearts & Crafts show at Java's Coffee. This was my most successful show to date.








Thanks to Lisa Barker for organizing another terrific show, and thanks to all my friends who stopped by to say hi(and to buy stuff!) See you all next time.

Time to carve up some fresh inventory!

Craft Fair Victory!

The craft fair was a success. And fun, too. Jen and I set up our little table around 10am, and covered it with horses, spoons, pendants, pins, and trolls.



People's eyes really lit up when they spotted my table full goodies, but mostly they seemed drawn to the little army of spike trolls. I sold a few heart pendants too, but the spike trolls were the overwhelming favorites. We spent the day at our table, talking with curious people, visiting with the other vendors, and I personally made a mess of woodchips while carving some new trolls and hearts.


Though the horses and spoons didn't sell, they got some nice compliments, and I can put them up for sale on my etsy shop. I guess I'm now known to some as the spike troll guy. It's funny how the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to make carving, is also the most popular seller. Cool. Time to make some more!

Hearts and Crafts 2

This Sunday, May 23rd, is the second Hearts and Crafts Indie Craft Market! It'll be at Java's coffee house at 16 Gibbs street in Rochester. I'll be there from 11:00am - 5:00pm, slingin' my whittlins. Plus there will be loads of other vendors, including my friends Peter Lazarski, Mike Turzanski, and Evinn & Jenelle Neadow. Come on down!

I've carved a few spoons and other things to add to my inventory. Here's a sneak peek:
