| Welcome |
The LOUISIANA WILDFOWL CARVERS AND COLLECTORS GUILD (lwccg.org) has a world-class festival
each year in New Orleans. For over 25 years, this festival has attracted wood carvers
from all over the USA. As a sponsor of the event, IPIK has acquired the blue ribbon
winning entry in 2 categories of competition. The very strict rules of the competition
require that the carving be 100% wood.(except the eyes). The carving and painting of
the carvings is so realistic that the most common reaction the viewer has is
"oh, a stuffed duck!" no,no this is a wood carving. Those feathers are carved wood!
I hope that you can appreciate the talent and artistic talent of these artists expressed
in wood . They don't build offices, museums or hospitals ... but they can sure delight the eye.
Please visit this virtual museum. Next time you are in New Orleans call and we'll be happy
to show you the actual pieces. I have given credit to the artists and hope that you will
contact them to acquire your own wood treasure. If we have web addresses for them,
they are so linked. Be sure to view the enlarged images to see the transparency of
the fin or feather! Enjoy your visit.
