Letters to the Elves!

 The elves love to receive letters!  Here are is a nice one they shared with me recently:

Woodworker's Journal - Find Me in the Nov/December Issue!

 As an avid long-time reader of Woodworker's Journal, it feels a little like a dream come true to see my work in its pages.  I'm honored.  In the Nov/Dec issue my Icelandic Elf Houses are featured in the "Shop Talk" section of the journal.  This feels like an early Christmas gift to me!

Vandalism - The Trolls Struck Again

 I recently found out the house in Rochester's Slatterly Park was vandalized.  I went down to fix things up and it was heartbreaking - someone had tried to pull the house off its base and wood had been stripped off.  The chimney, doors and windows had all been smashed.  I put in about 6 hours to fix up the house before the winter darkness fell.  Hopefully I can finish renovations soon and get the trolls moved out and the elves moved back in.  Man, I'm so sad.  This was one of my favorite houses.  Here's a picture of the house from happier times:

IMAGE Art Show - East Central Regional Arts Council - Elf House

 This past week, I had the chance to share my sculpture with some new crowds!  The IMAGE Art Show from the East Central Regional Arts Council was a lot of fun.  I'm very grateful for the opportunity to present a brand new elf house at the event.  Since this event was indoor, I got to go a little "wild" with owls, moss and mushrooms galore!

Here are some pictures of the house from a fun night.

The fun is always in the details!
