Cathy Krumrei - Artist

I'll try not to bore you too much but this is where you can get to know me and what I do as a wood carving/ artist. You could say, I was bitten by the bug which is more of than I can say on all the other projects I have done all my life. They came and went. Now it's 2008 and I'm still at it! I took a few local wood carving classes in 1996 and fell in love with being able to create something from a chunk of wood. I enjoy working with my hands and of course everyone needs tools to create some of the projects but I do enjoy hand carving and not to thrilled about having dust all over. I hate cleaning it up and so I do very little power carving except for the wood turning which I use a good system and those are mostly big chips so I do have to clean once in awhile. Oh well.

My First Carving "The Golfer"-

I can laugh with you, I hope I have improved over the years! Ok, stop you can stop laughing now.

My family-

I have been married 38 years to my husband, Darryl. We reside in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. We have 2 sons and 11 grandchildren. We both enjoy working with wood. We are pretty good about sharing each other projects. It is nice to get a 2nd opinion on projects that we work on. Darryl enjoys wood working and has made kitchen cabinets, a baby changing table and has started a gun cabinet that I have design so I can carve them. I'll be sure to post the project asap.

FOREVER FLOWERS E-BOOK
By Cathy Krumrei

Everyone loves flowers! But, they don't last very long.

Even if you decided to buy just one flower it's too high priced and have you looked at the prices of bouquets these days? OUCH! Ok... so your saying,

"It's the thought that counts?" What better way to be able to give a beautiful bouquet or a display for someone that you carved yourself? And will last forever!?

And practically FREE! Carve beautiful flowers for yourself or family and friends.

Follow my basic instructions and soon you'll have a room full of flowers to share with family and friends.

The BEST part is they'll have to touch them to believe that they are made of wood!

 

Please click on the pictures for a better view of the flowers that ARE wood! Sorry you won't be able to smell the flowers online! See how real they look!?

-A testimony-

Bob Collins from Victoria, Australia writes  “It's my first attempt and that I am male and have no idea. This sure is addictive and a lot of fun!” Word of mouth is great, after selling that lot of flowers last night, I have had phone calls enquiries.”  - Bob
