>I really like that, Molly. The colors, the form, the design all seem to work together just right. What s the material going from the neck to the base? My eyes aren't good enough to ,ake it out.

>Thanks Don. The area you are referring to is the portion of the piece I brand. The design is burned into the wood. I usually describe it as a basket weave brand.

>Molly, that burning tool of yours is making an artist out of you. Great form on the vessel. I'd like to see you in action holding court at the club.

>Stunning Molly!! I love the shape. The curves are spot on - not a single flat.

The Buffalos remind me of a Sioux Skin Pinting or a Cave Painting I have seen somewhere.

I Love it.

>Thanks Mark, that's exactly what I want to achieve. My inspiration for these pieces are from the prehistoric cave drawings in France, and Native American art. This type of artwork has always intrigued me. I learned the branding from Graeme Priddle of New Zealand.

Can I touch it?

John Trant (aka Boxes-n-Bowls)

>Wow! Beautiful work. We have had quite a few discussions about the difference between craftsman and artist. In my mind, the question has been answered. I can turn a hollow form, add texturing, and even add an accent wood. And do it very well, if I do say so myself. But damn .... only the hand and eye of an artist can produce a vessel like that one. I am drawn to the texture ... I would really like to reach out and touch it.

Keep up the good work,

John

Very nice

Bob Hackett

>The proportions are right and you hit the form dead on.Movement in two axis on a single piece without conflict or interruption.There`s unity of all elements and flow both around the piece and top to foot.To put it in local terms,finestkind!

Mainely,Bob-Who also felt compelled to touch the piece.
