Fellow Carvers,

This is an update on the seminar schedule for the Whillock Woodcarving
Festival and a cry for HELP for posting the auction items on eBay.

For those of you who have not experienced the magic of making a Fan 
Bird it
is awesome. If you have a spouse who has never picked up a knive before 
this
is the perfect class for them. You will not find a better pair of 
teachers
than Sally & David Nye.... I've heard Chris Whillock teach some beginner
carvers. If you want to get your woodcarving off to a good start Chris 
can
give you some solid information that will make your learning easier and
safer. Sandie Roosa is an excellent professional teacher. She also has 
some
great carving skills she can teach you in a short time on a sweet potato
that you can convert those techniques to wood. Look at my Webshots, 
Marnie
album, for an example of Sandie's skill. Tony Erickson plays the guitar 
in
the key of 'D' and he can teach you techniques to turn Cottonwood Bark 
into
the most awesome Whimsical Houses you've ever seen. I don't know about 
the
other seminar teachers, who still have openings, but they have been 
selected
by the best . That's why I'm proud to be listed among them.

*** HELP HELP HELP ****

Marnie nor I have had experience with selling stuff on eBay. If there is
someone who has experience and would be willing to help Marnie get the
auction items posted on eBay it would greatly be appreciated. If you 
have
experience with the best methods, such as a reserve bid or not, that 
would
be very helpful. Marnie is doing a heavy batch of chemo at this time 
and she
's doing all she can to survive. We were hoping to get these items up 
before
this but the people who were going to do it were not able to do it. Any 
help
would be greatly appreciated. You may call me at my shop (815-498-9290)
during regular business hours today if you would like to help post 
items to
the eBay auction. The auctions will end this Sunday, August 22, so this
gives us less than a week total time. The sooner we get them on eBay the
better. Most of the pictures can be downloaded from my WebShots (URL 
below)
album titled Marnie.

I hope to see many of you this coming weekend at the CARV-FEST '04.. As 
soon
as Marnie gets some help in posting the items on eBay I'll get the 
URL's out
to those who will be watching the auction from their computer screen.

Thanks for listening.
