Hi World ...

The idea of this blog is basically to get word of my work 'out there' ... so to speak.

I will, over time, compile a body of some of my favorite works here along with the stories behind them, the various sources of inspiration, and will share some of my crazy carving adventures along the way.
I am available for commisions small or large, private or public and I like to think that 'Anything Is Possible' ... just drop me a line at angiechainsawchick@yahoo.com.au or if in Australia you can call me on 0423 068 407 ...

I hope you enjoy this peek into my world ... and if you like it ... please feel free to 'spread the word' !!
...
Oh yeah ... and if you are so inclined, click on the 'Older Posts' tag at the bottom right at the end of this feed to see more groovy 'Angie' stuff !
Enjoy ...

Working with Kids …

Kids have great ideas ... they just need to be nurtured.
Although I work with chainsaws a lot I also work with children as in with design concepts and finish (painting and sanding etc). The results are often unexpected and even startling ... but always colorful and full of happy surprises.



These bollard totems (2 are removeable to allow vehicle access) were created in 2002 for the Powys Museum in Welshpool, Wales. The concept is that every year a new bunch of local children paint pictures in the carved windows to a theme. All the paintings over the years will be photographed and documented and thus a local visual diary created. It's a terrific community project that will continue to unfold over the generations.















... same concept as before only this time in parklands in Hawthorn, Australia ...
