Ted Ohlsen, the remarkable blind carver from Flin Flon will tell you: "I pick up a piece of wood and something just grows out of it." Ted's most recent carvings that were provided to The Emily Dahl Foundation are finding some new homes here in the Okanagan and throughout BC. One the magical things Ted does is carve the amazing chains pictured here out of one piece of wood. This three-foot chain takes about three weeks to carve! Ted words are powerful and full of compassion: "The links in the chains remind us that everything in this world is connected. Even the mosquitos have a place in holding everything together. With kids, I tell them to grab on to one on the links and make a wish and the spirit in the chain may make it come true". The Emily Dahl Foundation March 2023
