Hi there, it's been sometime since I posted here, just so busy. I have a million things on my to do list. One more long trip and it's Christmas vacation. I have many things in the works to finish then I will be working on my website, and store. Keep watching for updates please. It's fun to share this all with you.

Here we have it, Tim's new Baby!! Pretty nice I must say. Here is a dream come true for you! You deserve it honey!

This is little Aimie, she is a one of a kind polymer sculpt I made, she is posable and soft, her little read hair is a fun touch to show off her creaming skin tone. She is available for sale, if your interested, email me. I am asking $39. for her. She is not really a toy, but if purchased for a bit older child whe will do fine.

This necklace is entirely handmade, the main area of the piece is woven using an ancient viking weave,the pendant is a beautiful handmade glass bead accented with chrystals. Made of solid Stirling Silver, $45.

This entire pendant is made from solid copper wire twisted over a solid copper wire center. It is trimmed with glass/copper beads, it can be hung with a simple black satin ribbon for a beautiful accent to evening wear. This piece is for sale now for $25. If your interested please contact me!

Here is our line of Wine Jellies, from the Similkameen Valley. They are available individually or by the case at $7. ea or $5. ea. when purchased by the case of 12. They are wonderful with fine cheese's or fresh fruit or on toast (yummy!)

Here is my favourite gourd to date, it took one week to carve and trim with ponderosa pine needles, it is approx. 11" across, opens from the top, and it's for sale, contact me if your interested!

Here is our Peterbilt, and we're parked in Laredo, TX. 32' and awsome. We love going south and the people are very nice. How can you not like palm tree's?

Here is a picture taken up behind Nickel Plate Mine, in Hedley BC just next to the open pit, I counted 16 mountain goats, incredible animals and a delight to see.

To our friends and family who are taking a look at our blog, thankyou for your encouragement. We hope to have enough artwork put together to make a decent attempt at selling via our website. It will be www.Desertwindstudio.net
It is not up and running yet, but I'll let you know when it is. We have a pile of ideas floating about in our minds to do, so hopefully time will tell if they come out well enough to be seen in public,lol. I hope you'll check in often and like what you see. I'll try and keep it interesting.

This little Elf goes by the name of Gilert, he is a ooak sculpt and stands about 11" tall. His cloths are hand made and his "goatee" is real hair! He is for sale on our site, if your interested let me know.

http://desertwindstudio.etsy.com
So I have yet to finish, check in and see for yourself. This butterfly is a real life work of art, you can truly see through it's wings, I fell in love with it when I saw it.

I see I cannot us largest for my print and is doesn't look good and devides words up, anyhow enough of that.
It's beautiful and we got our load on before 7 am. yippy. I may change things on this page as I get to know all the functions. So please add yourself so you can follow us around, and make comments,,,,,,,nice ones would be lovely,lol. Any suggestions too, I'm all thumbs here, so bare with me as I said.

This cantine gourd is about 12" across and took about a week to carve, and trim with ponderosa pine needles, it's for sale:)

This photo was taken by Tim, and he captures the majestic beauty of New Mexico, we travel past this giant on our many trips to Texas. Never get tired of looking at this.

This beautiful bowl was turned from a birch burl
it's beautiful grains are magnified in it's fine finish,
Tim's work is amasing and we can't keep much of it around
as it's often requested for gifts and goes faster than he can find time to make it all.
Some of it I plan to post is long gone, but will be here for your enjoyment.
"cheers!"

Here is a gourd purse I finished a while back, I plan to sell this, but being my first purse I am rather fond of looking at it,,,, isn't that always the way? Hopefully somebody will love it as I do,,,tee hee.

Day one of the new blog, so much to do! I plan to fill this with pictures of our artwork. Wood turning, metal art, ooak sculpts, gourd carvings, jewelry, and what ever else comes along. We are always scouting out inspiration and design ideas for our hands to try.
I will post pictures as often as possible for viewing. Please be patient I am new to this format, but am going to give a go. So this is the beginning of a new adventure, come along with me. As our job is one that takes us across the continent, I will try to share our sights with you as well. Today we are in transit to Oregon, then Calgary and back home to the beautiful Okanagan. Drop by again and see whats new,,,,,,till then
"imagine whirrled peas!"
