A long narrow celtic knot

I'm updating this on July 29, 2013...I'm in Powell, Ohio and this piece is forgotten at home...so maybe next year.  I will be posting more pieces before the Irish Festival starts this coming Friday, August 2, 2013.  Stay tuned.

2012 Dublin, OH. Irish Festival - Complete Carvings

Here are some of the carvings I did for the 2012 Irish Festival.  Unfortunately, an old customer called and I had to WORK starting just after July 4th .  So I didn't have many carvings completed going into the Festival just the one Shamrock.   I completed 4 Irish Dancers at the festival.  The dancer is an interesting (to me) carving because it is really a "negative" relief.  Most reliefs come out of the background this one goes in.

The only piece I had completed before the Festival

More work to do



Another version but the Stone is too rough



2011 Dublin, OH. Irish Festival - A few carvings

I have not faithfully updated this blog so this is a catch up post.  Here are some of the carvings I did for the 2011 Irish Festival in Dublin, OH... I didn't photo them all and I complete around 5 more at the festival.  I continued to work on Jack (see previous posts) but his right eye is getting worse.
