OMG I saw your comment before I got to the end and I had to fast forward to watch it, make sure, and then go back to where I was! Hahaha that's awesome, she did a great job! 🤗😊
You might see a bunch of owls in a carving competition, but both you and Cody did something so fun and fresh, you both took risks with "non-traditional" carves!! I'm so freaking happy the judges saw what y'all did and said oh yeah, that's what we're talking about!
This was simply amazing! So much talent on display and you held your own in the competitions. We are seeing a rising star in you! Excellent video and fabulous carving!
Fantastic! There must have been so many carvers there who have been doing this kind of art for many years. You must feel so proud. I am so happy for you.
See! Those Bob Ross's on the pallet in your yard from when you'd first began.. You told em they'd be worth something someday. Here ya are, winning your first competition. You rock with that airbrush.. details were amazing! and your chainsaw skills are just badass. Keep em coming. I love the inspiration.
I love that airbrush! Those colored paints I used on the books there really messed my brush up though, just got finished completely disassembling it and cleaning ever single little part! Hopefully that fixed the issue! 😁
Oh wow, his otters are really coming to life! That's awesome, can't wait to see what they look like at the end!! But I'm obsesseddddd with your Hedwig stack!!!!
So impressed!!! Way to go Taylor - your talent was obvious from the very first video and I love watching you grow as an artist and this win is just the beginning. And yes - please include us on your competition journeys, as long as you have fun doing it of course! Thanks for sharing!!
Wow! I am so very proud of you. Congradualations on winning 1st place. What an acheivement for your first competition. I have enjoyed watching your carving videos and this was a great way to celebrate your skills.
Oh wow! What an incredible experience! I'm so happy you got to do that,...and congratulations on your ribbon!🎉👏👏👏🥰 That had to be amazing. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.🥰 Absolutely loved your carves, as always. And so fun to see some of the other carves as well.
Won your first competition! Awesome. I've always been in awe of all you carvers. I see a log, y'all see owls, bears, otters, you name it. I have zero artistic talent.
Taymarie, since the start you have been an incredible artist and we all are privileged to share your passion, skill and carvings. It is an amazing accomplishment to win your first carving show. Congratulations many times over! You inspired me to start carving - although not on your scale. Just the fact you believe you can do it made me believe in myself too and carving is now one of my greatest joys! Thank you and good luck with the next. We would love to see it!!! 🦉🐻
Such kind words, thank you! I'm so happy to hear you picked up carving and are enjoying it! It's a wonderful hobby for both the mind and body! Nothing gets me so engaging like carving does, it's a wonderful feeling to be passionate about something 💛 Keep carving friend!
Fcking rock on Joe!!!! I love when other artists and craftsman make sure that everyone in the competition, is doing their absolute best! So that they have genuine, challenging competitors, who are at their best marks!!! That makes my heart so happy 😊 True artists want the best for competition, it doesn't mean anything if you wipe the floor with under-prepared or diff level competitors. 🤷♀️
Oh my Goodness Gracious Tay!! Congratulations! Beautiful carvings by you, your friends and fellow carvers! I so would have liked to be a butterfly on your ball cap, or under your canopy to watch you and others with your skills! Congratulations again Tay! 👍👍👍
OMG I'm so excited and proud of you and I don't even know you LMFAO you must be thrilled and absolutely tickled pink!! OK onto your next video to post a ton of comments to get all of this on the algorithm!!! (Seriously, please look into things to help boost your content on the algo, you deserve to get paid for all your content work/editing/finishing ON TOP OF your art! And as I said in the 10ft bear video, YOU DESERVE SPONSORSSSS!!! Yeah.... I'm going to send you a portfolio of ideas.....I would fcking LOVE to see you blow up on the front page and get sponsorship offers out the damn wazoo! 💖✨️)
Congratulations! I found your channel while looking for some wood carving inspiration and I immediately subscribed! I have been carving on and off for decades (hand tools, not chainsaw!) and I’m so impressed with your carving skill, attention to detail, and knowledge of anatomy (from your nursing background maybe!). I would be terrified to even pick up a chainsaw, much less a blow torch!! You have such a talent for seeing the form within the log. I have to have scale drawings and paper patterns for everything, even a tiny Christmas ornament. I watch or re-watch one of your videos every day. You are an amazing carver and an inspiration! Yes please record your next show!
CONGRATULATIONS. That is awesome for your first carving competition. Just shows how good you really are with your craft in such a short time. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. Cannot wait for the next ones.
You and chainsaw Jenna are the ones that inspired me to try my hands at chainsaw carving. I'm so happy for you that you did so well at your first competition.
I spent 3.5 full 8-10 hour days editing this one so I want to make sure people enjoy them before I attempt editing the larger event 😆 so happy you enjoyed it!
I know, I videoedit for my work (and carve in my free time). Should be other way around haha. Editing takes ages. Carving as well. But well done both and congrats winning that 🥇
WOW!! That is one incredible insight in the world of Carving...Well done to you Tay Marie on your achievement...You soooo deserved that win...Simply incredible and such an inspiration to all levels of carvers out there who follows your journey!
Wow! Te Amo! TAY! WOW! When you said you won the whole show and you sold the piece right off, WOW! I actually cried! Tears of joy for you. I'm very happy and very proud of you! Keep up the great work! 🏆
@TayMarie23 ; Yes! And it was! I can imagine your happiness right at that very moment! I felt it too, here with me , even days after. There must have been some excitement going on there. Lol. You signing your work was fantastic, just imagining the exhilaration. The electric Ness of all of it ended it at that time. Exciting!! Again, great job! 👍🏼
We attended the chainsaw carving show at Shippensburg and saw your masterpiece. It was beautiful and you definitely deserved the "best of the show" ribbon. Congratulations! Hopefully you'll attend next year's show in PA and we get to see you outdo the Harry Potter carving. 😀
So happy you were able to attend, all of us carvers appreciate the support, even if you didn't buy anything, just being there is huge to us! If I don't go to Shippenburg next year I will definitely do the Rendezvous in Rigway, PA! If you haven't been to that one, its worth the drive!
Wow!!! Amazing Taymarie. Must have been remarkable to win 1st prize on your first competition. Couldn’t be happier. Wish you posted the events, I’d love to see them! I live in the northeast so I don’t mind a drive to see something like this. Here in NY I’ve only seen ice sculptures and it was always a magnificent experience. Congrats and would love to see you compete more often.
Unfortunately we don't have many events up this way in the north east! I'm in Maine. Almost all the events are in western PA which is a hike! But there are a handful in Central PA! Follow me on FB for more announcements!
Nice work. You looked like you were having an awesome time. Sugar Pizza and Daisy are still getting compliments all the time. I feel so lucky to have them.
Jeff is an Iowa native I think, but lives on the other side of the state. Hopefully get to meet you both someday. I’m looking forward to going to the US open in Eau Clair, Wisconsin the first week of August. Just amazes me how fast you’ve pick up your skills. Amazing Works.
Completely unasked for, but I just watched my first video of you with the 10ft bear catching 8 months ago; then and clicked to this one. Darling, you look so happy and healthy right now!!!!!!!!! Your skin is glowing, your eyes are clear, and you look so content!! It's amazing! Random internet mom is SOOOOOO proud of you for doing the things you love, showing your amazing talent that you've TIRELESSLY honed, and taking care of yourself -- while doing such physically and mentally demanding artistry!!!!!!!!!! Get it babydoll, fcking get ittttt 💪❤️!!!!!!!!!!
every aspect of your carvings are terrific, it's what sets you apart, not just a sweet owl but the books the cauldron, and sweet painting what a treasure, would love someday to have one of your carvings congrats tay many more blue ribbons to come
@philipwolf1556 Yes!!! That's what I'm saying!!!! It's not just that she created an amazing, well thought out piece, she finished it amazingly, she created the perfect color scheme, and it all fits together so well at the end!
Thank you so much! Rigway is a different animal...it's MASSIVE! So happy you liked this one, if these seems yo be enough interest I'll start pulling the footage together I have on the other event!
Hi Tay, it's not many, but a little bit to see really from the USA where you're driven. I like to see other Countrys and Continents. But what i like all the most, you and your carvingvideos. You make a mega good Job all the time. Stay like how you are, you are MEEEEGA. :)
Congratulations!!! I was so enthralled with this video. This whole genre of art is incredibly fascinating to me. I definitely agree with the judges; yours was the best! You’re wonderful!!! 😊
Carving events are just a wild experience! I really hope to spread awareness about these competitions because sometimes the turn outs aren't great for these events, but I dont think many people know they even exist! They are such a great time and are always free admission! Would love to get more people going to them!
Seems like there is enough interest so I will most likely throw a video together! The talent at this competition was absolutely! But Rigway is a different animal, the talent there is mind blowing. I got to meet some carving masters!
You did a great job with the video and I would like to see more videos like this. Your masterpiece is beautiful even though I'm not a Harry Potter fan. Good Carve
I never do inventory, I had to work double time to do my normal packed commision schedule and carve all those little inventory critters to bring! It was chaos haha! Worth the works though! 💪
Congratulations! Your carvings are amazing, but I want to say something. Your video showed a lot of bear carvings. Your bear carvings outclass all of them many times over. No one can do the faces like you do. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Aww thanks! I struggle with the bears, they always get done to my standard but the process to get there is never pretty 🤣 Each bear gets a little better!
Tay, by golly I bet you were tickled getting the 1st place ribbon. Congratulations....fantastic job. You have a knack for this don't you. I'm wondering if with the Hedwig sculpture, you'll venture in your imagination and begin to carve things other than animals...just saying. Let that ingenuity take over. Again, congrats.
One day I'll carve what's in my noggin but for now it's just back to back commissions so I'm at the mercy of what's ordered. I do have some unique orders under way though! Very excited!
Congratulations on the blue ribbon 🙏❤️🙏 you obviously made the right choice skipping that quick carve to to detail on hedwig … just out of Curiosity what did you get for that work of art???
All items are auctioned off at these events, things tend to sell for less then they would private sale. Buyers get GREAT deals at these events! Hedwig's top bid was 1,800, I got 50% of that. Not ideal but it was worth the experience!
Wow Tay, that's fantstic. Well done. I have a 10 year old granddaughter who loves Harry Potter, hope you don't mind if I take some inspiration from your carving and make something for her. X
