Carey says, “Birch is known as the miracle tree; the tree of wisdom and reflection. Hearty and elegant, it is a pioneer of the forest, an ecological beacon reflecting the longer lived hardwood forests that will follow. Independent, it grows where no other tree will. Polyvalent, it presents numerous medicinal, nourishing and decorative properties.After reading his interview, you really must read the information in his shop as well as his interesting profile page.Please enjoy the interview, leave Carey a comment, and then use the Share Tools so others can read it, too.

Born in Montreal half Mohawk and half Irish. I was always attracted to ways I could express myself.Birch Art became a creative result of my spiritual awakening and my need to manifest and maintain gratitude towards nature and life, incessantly thankful of its redeeming and inspirational resources.Answering a friend’s request to cut down one of his birch trees, the sight of red sap flowing profusely triggered sudden feelings of unjustified destruction of life.Remorse initiated the need to give a purpose to this end and the tree itself became a media to redemption and rebirth.Through research and meditation, I found interest in Native Indian spirituality who’s foundations worship nature and all life forms.Furthermore focusing on Birch itself, the discovery of its numerous properties became an endless source of inspiration and my creative skills were used as tools to channel this elegant tree’s energy as well as my own mystical beliefs.By trade I am a journeyman interior systems installer.
(Retired due to Chronic Pain)I hope to help someone who needs something in their life, that can help them, whether it’s a Dream Catcher, Medicine Shield or Mandela that I create if the individual chooses to use it as a spiritual tool that may inspire or give them something special that will or can better their life or themselves.My Wife Gudrun, she has such a positive outlook on life, and always finds the good in each individual. She also supports me 100% in my art and creativity. She is also a great listener.
Right now my main passion is my art.I am a Big Montreal Canadians Fan. (NHL Hockey team).I personally played hockey till I was 40. I am also passionate for good food.Everyone seems so positive and friendly; also Zibbet seems like a helpful communityWho viewed and favored my items.I don’t have a set marketing program quite yet.I sell at least 10 items a week on eBay. When I ship my products I send a pamphlet out advertising Zibbet on my Flyer.I am looking to advertise on facebook.I am new to this on-line selling and at times find it very labor intense. I create for my soul and did not want to throw it away by mass selling.
In 3 months I have sold over 70 items on ebay, 3 on Etsy and I have had my 1st sale on Zibbet in 2 weeks. Etsy has not been successful at all, I have had over 2000 hits with over 900 favorites and only 3 sales, 2 sales to the same person.My hope is that Zibbet would be my primary shop as it is quite reasonable to be a vendor.Ebay costs an arm and a leg and there is hardly any profit left to the vendor. I don’t feel that I should be charged a commission on shipping which happens at Ebay.I am new to this on-line selling so at this time I do not have any helpful hints.All I can say is people at Zibbet are quite friendly and helpful, so I will be using the recourses Zibbet has to offer.I would like just to be known as a person with integrity and offers tools to people how are looking for harmony, prosperity and health in their lives.Tags: Birchart, Featured Zibbeters
