no more pinterest

Well as many may and may not have noticed I no longer have a link to my Pinterest page, which is because I no longer have a Pinterest page.

Thanks to all who pinned my carvings and followed my boards.

Unfortunately lately I started getting a different group of followers and a few of them had pictures
that would take you to a tumbler page that had extremely explicit pictures and mini movies. I have always tried to keep an eye on who is following me and where the links lead. Maybe I have over thought this but if you can get to explicit pages from links off of my pages then I feel a certain responsibility for you being there. I couldn't find any other way to resolve this issue so my Pinterest page is now closed. I don't know how or if this will impact my sales down the line but if it does so be it. I am a mom and pop shop, I see most of my sales during the Christmas season. I will carve whether I make a sale or not so worst case scenario my desk becomes a bit more cluttered with carvings.

On the carving front the heat and my sinuses have moved me back inside and I will begin carving with knives and gouges again. There are a few things I want to work on to strengthen my overall skills as a carver and of course it is also deep in summer vacation so am hanging out with my boys.

The picture is simply because I hate a page with text only and since it is summer and everyone needs to stay hydrated I posted my robot RH2O. This water cooler comes to you so you stay at your desk and keep working. I am considering posting some note cards in my shop with some of my various cartoons but haven't made the final call on that just yet.

as always happy trails

Carpe diem 4 carving

    Good job, mate! I agree, as a content poster and representative of your business, you do have a responsibility to patrol the links from your work. Not many share our ethics, but then that's what makes us shine like lights in darkness.
    God bless.

      Thank you Rich, I appreciate your words of support. If the links on my pages aren't fun and uplifting then why am I doing this, and as I said if this impacts my sales, so be it. If that is what it takes to make a sale then I might as well shut down now and be done with it.

      God speed my friend
