As some of you know I do some carving. Well I was asked by a monthly magazine if they could do a story on what I do. Well it caught me off guard but I excepted to do it.

I don't consider what I do that good I haven't had classes or read books how to do a carving so they are very amateur at best.

I had the interview last week and will be in the July issue with 200,000 published. YIKES!! At least no one will know me. LOL

I have close friends that don't know I carve so it may surprise some.

I have shared more work here then in public or to anyone else. Because I see what you think. LOL

Congrats Neb. I've seen the work you post here and have always been very impressed (not to mention envious of your talent). Well earned honor.

Great News Neb ! I have to echo Razmicheal completely. You have a gift & talent Neb and it's good to see it being shared. Enjoy it and wait to see the reaction of those that you say don't even know you can do such wonderful artwork.

I believe I remember mentioning that you shouldn't sell yourself short . You have a natural gift. Just keep doing it. I'm a struggling artist too and no amount of talent can replace the act of creating. The more you work at it and the more of yourself you put into your work, the better the final product. Good for you and congratulations!

Thanks for the kind words and it is humbling for me. I do know that art work needs to be shared and hidden. I enjoy others so I guess it is the same way.

I never have been about being front and center or about me. I'm the one in the back of the room and hoping no one sees me. LOL

Again thanks and I did want to share this and I haven't told any one else.

TH>>If you were closer I would make you a heck of a deal! Shipping a log would be costly.

Neb, a large part of greatness is humility.

Along with your talent with carving and recognition of natural beauty with your photos of the area you live in, you have not only displayed your ability, but your down home humbleness.

It's a privilege to share in your joy of this honor.

Thank you.
