The Funky Chicken Art Project chainsaw party

[Thor]

Hi all,
I haven't posted in awhile. Just busy.
I have guests visiting and working (read: "playing") in the studio and will post pictures of the fun as we progress.
Dick Tilley, and Tony Langston are here from England. Thor arrived today and will stay through Friday and have Thanksgiving supper with us all. Carl Pirone, another carver who lives locally has been back twice to carve and enjoy the fun, and my neighbor from across the road has been by twice and will be back as soon as he eats a turkey.

Anyone nearby is welcome to come by and watch them work if you have time.

Christina wow what a time you must be having only wish I was there. Please say hello to Mr Tilley for me tell him I send my best. Hmmm carving another little owl, tell him Colin says there must be a pretty girl somewhere close he will know what i mean.LOL. Tell Thor that I send my best cant wait to see what he carves but you can bet it will be unusual. I really miss seeing all you guys give my best to your hubby for me and have a great thanksgiving. Hugs from me Christina missed talking to you this year. Make sure you post more pictures

Hi Dave, maybe one day you can come for a stay. We would love to have you here.

Robson, it simply isn't anchored. The Island Monkeys, as they have come to be known, are so quick it would slow them down.

Hi Susan, I've been thinking about you and we all went through your dragon book yesterday and enjoyed it all over again. Good to hear from you. Chainsaws are so much fun.

Colin, my friend, we have had a long year, but things are looking really great in the months to come. I'm honored to have Dick, Tony and Thor here, and we are all having a great time. Thanks for your thoughts. James has been cooking up a storm for all of us for the past week. Today, turkey Thanksgiving is my turn, so I am in the kitchen.

I understand about the "pretty girl nearby" regarding Tilley owls. Around here, they are legitimate currency. He has traded one for big logs being delivered, one for the sandblasting for the carvings, and one for a big log truck moving logs around. Paper money means nothing to the man.

I'll take more pics and post them. For now, here are a few more.
Happy Thanksgiving all,
Christina

We are having a ball here at Christinas place, so inspired to paint and carve, I am thinkjng of having a perminent studio here and plan on visiting every year for a few months and help generate a co-op artists commune, perfegt for an old hippy like m;self.
T'would be great for you to visit Colin, a great workshop here for all artists even Monkey Boys lol

Hey Funckie, good to read you're still hanging in there. Will make an effort to get up to see you before we leave for the lake.
