I've been keeping an eye on my Daily Hit Counter since my accident and have sadly watched as the counts dropped off each day. As it seems the herd is straying I think I'd better suck it up and take on a temporary hand...(get it? "Temporary Hand"?)...and try to wrangle you strays back into the corral.-
What better way to do that than to use the carving that made me famous...at least to my mind. I did this one back in 1997 and am proud to say that it took top honors in just about every show it was entered into. It was also featured on the cover of the March-April issue of Chip Chats.

If you go back to an earlier post titled just "Eureka" I explain the process of how this scene was created. My poor forefinger can't take the punishment of typing all that in again.

I still have this piece but made another similar one for a collector out in California. If I can ever locate pictures of that one I'll post them in this album.-
So anyway, I hope I can once again pique your interest in this place enough to keep you in sight as I'd sure hate to lose you.
I havent dropped in for a while, sorry. Accident? sorry to hear that.love the carving but its not my number 1.

Lynn, don't worry about the numbers - once word gets out you're back to posting full time everyone will be back, and the numbers will soar. Take care of yourself & let the wrist heal.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you in Dayton (if you are still going)
Sorry about the accident. Hope you are on the memd by now.
ReplyDeleteI like this one but not mine for best choice.
All of your work is great. Keep up the blog going even if you have to use one fenger and hunt and peck. We all look forward to your posts.

Lynn, nice to see that you are able to punch the keys on that keyboard of yours. Don't worry about loosing the herd, we aren't going anywhere. Oh, and by the way, your "Eureka" is deffinately one of the best I've see.
ReplyDeleteHaven't lost interest in your site and never will.......just thought you'd be doin' a little R&R after your operaton so I've been visiting your old posts and reading about the techniques you use on whatever......some times us Mavericks cool it for awhile but generally mosey on back with herd eventually. Get well soon & we'll be looking at/for new posts and carvings as you feel up to doing them.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, Take what ever time it takes for that to heal. In the long run you will be better off. There are lots of old post to look at for now.

Lynn, don't worry about losing me as a viewer although I have to admit that since you've been laid up, I probably only check the website once a day :-)
ReplyDeleteHang in the fella!
Lynn,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all went well with your surgery. My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Take your time and get well, we'll be still here when you're back in the saddle.
Lynn, I haven't been able to carve since Chistmas, but was thinking about picking up a knife soon. That sent me to WCI where I heard about your accident and surgery, and that sent me here to check on you! The P.T. part of your recovery may be a pain in the wrist, but push yourself as hard as you can. Vic N
ReplyDeleteHI LYNN, HAVENT FORGOT ABOUT YA JUST FIGURED YA MIGHT BE ON BREAK WHILE YA HEAL UP. DIDN'T YA MENTION SOMETHING AWHILE BACK ABOUT PRINTING YOUR POSTS? MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO ORGANIZE THEM. HOPE TO SEE YA IN DAYTON!

As long as this Blog is up and running, I'll be visiting it, and attempting to copy your carvings. You are definately an inspiration and a help to us that want to learn to carve. Just finished my attempt at your "No Swimming" carving.(and it is my wife's favorite)

I am a long time fan of yours, and I think your carving is just great. I've picked up many tips and I hope you keep up the good work.
