I call this sculpture "Bruce" cause when my Grandpa died I kept busy making this Santa(he stands 41/2 feet tall) It was 1995 and Bruce Springsteen was in the news a lot. I stuffed him with newspaper articles about him, so someday if someone opens him up they can read all about Bruce.......

This weekend will be my 7th year at the Backwoods fest in Thornville Ohio......I can't wait to see all the people who return to my booth year after year...You guys are my true inspiration. Thank you for having faith in my sculptures.
This is a special year for me. This past summer i've been working on a website for my sculptures and will be passing out cards with my web address... many of you have asked me over the years if i had a website. I do now! Hopefully it will be successfull. My first 5 sculptures that i put on ebay sold so expect to see a lot more poping up there this winter...
I'll see you Sat and Sunday..with a little luck it won't rain. but rain or shine i'll be there.

My prayers go out to the people of the south who have lost their homes and/or loved ones from hurricane Katrina. May their lives be better somehow from this... I don't know how but i pray they will be okay. I'm a poor person myself and wish i could send money but I know that prayers, true faithfull prayers are needed as much as anything else.... If you cn't help them with time or money please pray, it doesn't matter what religion you are. God hears all prayers.
