Buzzy's Carving Camp
Today I hosted a kids/young adult version of coontiki(I'd like to think.) All that was missing was Benzart, Tiki Diablo, and the bears. I prepared three logs for Stikitiki's clan and had them come over and carve with me today. I actually didn't end up carving, I just tried to help them as needed. They needed little help and were as motivated as anyone I've ever met. It was a great day and I cannot wait to do it again.
Here are pictures:

Stikitiki and children

Working in public schools, I do not often see kids engaged in something that they enjoy doing. Today was totally refreshing. Dad kept trying to make them clean up, but they kept asking me to keep talking to him so that they could carve more

When she finishes this piece, you guys will freak out at how good she is. Good natural artistic ability and learns quickly. Does anyone know of other women carvers?

I spent my time walking from "station" to "station" helping them with advice on the tools and technique.
