Those antler carvings are incredible!!! They would easily go for several hundred if not thousands of US dollars at places like Fredericksburg, Wimberly, and New Braunfels, Texas. Your talent is unbelievable. I like humbleness, but you are a BA, and it is OK to be very proud of your work and talent a little when you are that awesome and everyone knows it.

Tatiana, I've read many of your posts and you would fit very well into higher academia, especially research, within the US. You could likely earn a very decent income for you and your son here, doing something you enjoy. People with fine minds, from all over the world, are very welcome here. You can still get a US travel Visa. https://visalist.io/united-states-of-america/visa-requirements/russiaYou could visit the US for up to 3 months on the Visa and try to find a position with a University here. You could then return to Russia and get an immigration Visa, so you could immigrate here legally. It's still very doable. There are over 3,00,000 Russians living in the US. America wants and needs more people like you. Keith Of course you would need to stop drinking vodka altogether and just stick to American whiskey.

Well hang in there Tatiana and don't let the buggers get you down ! You have a wonderful gift as I and others have said , A friend of mine would make small teddy bears out of the neck bones from a turkey after he dried them out .
The antler carving are certainly nice and I look forward to seeing more of it !
You're friend along the snare line . Allan

America wants and needs more people like you. Keith That is not how it works for poor people anymore, Keith. Most of the people I studied and grew up with as well as many former colleagues are over there now, so I know. As for academia, I am academia, my neighborhood is that Soviet project where they gathered the dorkiest nerds all over the country for decades and put them all together in one place to see what happens. They did get a lot of F1/F2/.. brainpower, but at a cost. I do science for fun because I can, but I don't have a relevant education so I don't qualify for academia in the US. My Master's in an embarrassing unrelated libtard field, a housewife education essentially. Real scientists only tolerate me for my high Hirsch index. Emigration-wise, it translates into a funny issue where I have way too many publications in Q1/Q2 journals (for a failed housewife) not to cause suspicions from embassy workers and they prefer to err on the safe side, so I've trapped myself here, in a way. Even if I went, somehow, I wouldn't have any support network over there, wouldn't be able to afford a home, education for the child, healthcare, or retirement. I can't even drive because my inner ear ist kaputt. There are other reasons, too. Nobody wants or needs me there anyway  Of course you would need to stop drinking vodka altogether and just stick to American whiskey. I'm not a good Slav, Carl, I don't drink, booze gives me suicidal thoughts. Depending on location public transportation can be good option, There are lots of jobs in many fields I was just looking myself this morning. Through 18 child education is provided as well as transport to school if it not walking distance. Housing has become expensive and renting is popular. You have a lot to offer and I believe you are exactly the type of immigration our country wants and needs .

You are a very interesting person Tatiana. When I have read your posts on here I always wished I knew more about your life. Thank you for sharing some of it with us in these posts!
And please excuse my poor attempt at humor about the alcohol. Killing brain cells via alcohol is not a smart move. That is what my father always preached and he never touched the stuff either.

"Even if I went, somehow, I wouldn't have any support network over there, wouldn't be able to afford a home, education for the child, healthcare, or retirement." Tatiana, reread the above post....YOU HAVE A BIG SUPPORT Network right here in trapperman. Among us there is a very wide area of knowledge and skills, you fit right in!!!! Do not down grade yourself so much. Your english is amazing, most people it would take ten years of living here to be able to speak so well. The sky is the limit......jk

You highly underestimate your intelligence Tatiana!
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Shoot and I thought Swedes were too humble. LOL
It sounds like you are raising a son. I'll bet you're a great mom ...hardly a small and useless path. Folks on Trapperman are so enthusiastic about you coming over here because we are so impressed with you. Trust me, not an easy crowd to impress. Your English is so good I had always assumed you must have studied over here.
I hope some day the US and Russia can settle their differences and become trade partners again. So don't landfill any carvings just yet!

Tatiana, where is your wolverine carving now ? That is my favorite. The feet are great. You got the tendons and big paddle angles just right, and his head is as anatomically correct as the best Ive seen. The curve in the back, everything. I like to specialize in feet, paws, legs, because many artists don't. They hide them if they can , in background stuff. The complexity of how animals and people move in life is continually fascinating for me. Your deer is gorgeous, too. That includes how you decide to carve them into the flow of the antler base. It brings movement and life. A side note...people like Waggler, on here , for example, love the Russian communities who live here. I bet they'd love having you and your son here and help you get settled. Other communities would too. I understand it takes so much energy to get this type of process started, especially dealing with health issues, and a bit of a heavy heart , which also is related to health. Below is the art I was asking about. I have always loved your wolverine . If you ever were wanting to part with anything, like this one, I'd gladly work with you to have him live with me. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/07/full-20139-264054-full_50953_161264_photo_2022_12_17_13_15_23.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/07/full-20139-264055-full_50953_194743_20231106_225914.jpg)

Tatiana you and your talents are amazing to me. I wish you great health and happiness. A heavy heart is tough to overcome. I've learned to just live with mine and things are better in my head because of it. I'm glad your part of this forum. I love your posts whether knowledgeable or artistic. Take care, I wish you the best.
