Intro from newbie, Chicago :)

Hello all.  I am a wood carver / craftsman from northern IL.  I currently own a small studio offering hand carved signs and woodworking services (Lazy River Studio), but I'm seeking to make a transition to fine arts - www.carvedbyscott.com .  I plan to give art fairs a shot in 2018, and working feverishly to complete my booth for the Artisphere application deadline.  I have been listening to Connie / her podcast and almost completed all the episodes.  And I have been learning a lot on this site.  Thanks for all the great advice and tips!

Here are a couple images of my hand carved wood florals.  I have no clue how I'll be received at art fairs.  But I plan to give this my 100% effort.  I plan to attend 5 different shows in 2018 and see if this will be in my future.  

Thanks!

Scott

  • Wow, Scott, your work is exquisite!  Absolutely beautiful!  Welcome aboard and please continue to take advantage of all the helpful information to be found here and best of luck to you!

    • Thanks Christina!  Really appreciate it :)  

  • love the formality of the piece juxtaposed with the rough  base.  Good eye and very professional looking.   See your only problem at shows is packing them safely.   JoAnn

    • Thanks JoAnn!  

      I've thought long and hard about transit. I came up with a solution that seems to work out great.  I have even been able to ship these displays by UPS, and no problems thus far... knock on wood.  :)     

  • Beautiful work. Are the florals made from wood as well?

    • Thanks Cindy!  Yes, all the flowers and components are handmade from maple and basswood.  :)

      • Love the look.
