Bearfest Wild Bunch

Our very own Treegeek has been recording his blood, sweat and tears in the making of Bearik Estrada. Bearik is part of the Grants Pass Bearfest 2010 where local artists were commissioned to create a sculpture using a fiberglass bear and a Harley motorcycle. Treegeek's bear is currently on view in downtown Grants Pass:Here is a sampling of the some of the other Bearfest 2010 sculptures on display:

The Bearinator:

Ooga Booga:

Iron Bear:

Miss Rosie Rogue:

Snarley Davidson:

Notice the tatoo on this one's tooth. The bears will be available for viewing this summer. Stop on by!

Field Trips

The most recent field trip that the Crafty Snarks took was to the Chinese New Year Parade (Gong hei fat choi!) in Jacksonville:

So it begins...

The as-yet nameless, semi-weekly, all-inclusive Greater Southwestern Oregon (and occasionally New York) craft (and other random activities, including field trips) group has been meeting for almost a year now, so it's high time we started a blog.

(Sidenote: a big f#%$ you to all you people on blogspot who registered blogs with variations of "craft" in the name, and haven't posted since 2002. You're breaking my balls here people.)

Many thanks to Kelly for coming up with a clever and random and obscure enough name for the blog/group/modus operandi (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunting_of_the_Snark). Now we just need some pictures and other stuff to fill up the blogosphere and wow everyone with our creative genius. So, fellow snarks, jump to it! And stay tuned for updates on the date for the next Crafting of the Snark! Bwaaahhahahaaahaaa!
