| Thanks to our carvers in the Oregon Carvers Guild and the Lake of the Ozarks Woodcarvers club for sharing pictures. For the first time, Lake of the Ozarks Wood Carvers Club invited gourd artists to its show in Camdenton, MO. Gourd members made a strong showing, both in terms of booths and prizes. New categories were created for gourds in the annual competition. They described it as "a terrific opportunity to "show and tell" for two groups that share many carving techniques". Shown below are some of the carvings from the show. Congratulations to the club for its open and inviting approach to carving. Send us pictures from your club Show and Tell and Community Events for sharing! Send your pictures and a brief explanation with the Subject line: Media Gallery to NWCAweb@gmail.com. |
