New Stuff from my Lathe/pics

That Is Wonderful

Jim Shaver Oakville, Ont

>Hi Jennifer,

I love touring through your images, your work is always insiring to view. I like all of them, the minitures are really incrdible, the scale is not apparent till I saw that lovely ring. Speaking of rings, Saturn is very playful and perhaps my favorite although I do enjoy the look of your coffee hollow form.

Amazing work my friend, I am always delighted to see what you have coming of of that nice big green machine...wonderful.

take care,

Jim

>All beautiful, but that camphor bowl is breath taking!

I guess I better buy one soon.

Dave Smith, Longview, WA

>Hi Jennifer,

You are doing excellent work young lady. In the not too distant future I wont be able to afford to buy your work. The hollow forms are perfect in my eye. I love the camphor bowl. Bob and Sonja Lemon are very sweet people. You did their camphor proud.

I am trying to imagine how you turn those minis. Do you use a magnifying light and dental picks? I need the enlarged print version of bowls blanks. Thanks for putting more challenges in my way even if they are little ones. That is all I need right now.

I used to think I could keep up with your turning. But with these turning your tail lights just went out of sight. Push down on the accelerator and don't look back because I may get a new ride someday.

I can do anything you can do better in Longview, WA.

>Very nice Jennifer. How in the heck do you make those miniatures? What tools and how do you mount them? I enjoyed looking at them all. Alan in Md.

>Hi Jennifer, Wow! really great pieces. Of course, I like the Saturn piece the best....it shows your creative side. I hope to see you continue with that line of thought!

We are not worthy!!

Dave Peebles

>Hello Jenn,

Great stuff you are doing there. All are great pieces!! Just keep pushing the envelope. You have all the turning skills required, that is clear for all to see. Now you are looking to find your own voice. And you are well on your way in my humble opinion.

Yo know that I have always loved the work that you do, but you are gonna have to quit that great job you have with all those famous TV types to reach your full turning skills :)

I also think it is time for another gathering in the Indy area.

Great stuff,

Dave

>I agree with Keith. While they are all fine turnings, the Sat-Turn one is my favorite. I think we've already reached the point where we can say 'We knew Jen when....' =o)

WOW...Great Job

Stan Campbell

>Jennifer, Beautiful work. I hope someday to be able to make some things that are half as good as yours. What do you use to hollow your forms? I can not imagine how you know what the inside is like. I also don't understand how you would sand or finish the inside.

>Jennifer

Looks like your working hard and producing good results. I'll have to agree with Keith. I like the inventiveness and the willingness to take a risk. It pays off.

Hi Jennifer!

Dominic Greco in Richboro PA

>Jennifer,

While I like both of the larger hollow forms you show here, I like the sycamore hollow form the best. I think you really nailed the shape.

The walnut bowl-within-a-bowl is very cool as well as the camphor bowl. But the Sat-Turn sculpture (yes,...I classify it as "Art" so it's a sculpture) is outstanding! I always love to see people push the edge. And that's what you did here with great results.

See ya around,

Dominic

Scott Greaves, Blackfoot Idaho

>Hi Jennifer,

This is all absolutely fantastic stuff!

Your piece Sat-turn is really much better than you think it is! You have really cranked it up a notch with this piece!

And your mini's are great! There are people out there that collect mini's. If I might suggest, pick out a nice one and send it to Bill Baumbeck (Arizonasilhouette.com) as a gift, and ask what he thinks. It will be worth it.

Thanks for showing! It is an inspiration!

Scott.

Splendid!

Ellis Walentine

>I'm really starting to think we need an official turning gallery around here.

Gorgeous -- and very original -- work, Jennifer. Congrats and thanks for sharing the photos with us! I think I'll go out and throw my lathe in the pond. :-)

Duane C.Leach

>Jennifer GREAT stuff. The best I think is the bleached maple on an adjustable steem.

You know this is what i have been looking for. Some of the art fairs I have been to have a lot of stuff on a stick, bird houses, bird feeders,glass,you name and some one will nail it, hammer it, melt it, glue it to a stick and call it art.

But your maple bowl on it's stand truly is art

>Hi Jennifer,

Very nice stuff! Like everyone, my eyes seems to be drawn to the Sat-Turn, it's quite nice. The two hollowforms at the beginning are also very nice. You got a great finish on the pieces as well. Thanks for the pics, it's always fun to see what you and others have been up to!

>The discussions with you when you first started, and I had been doing a little turning ahead of you.

You have progressed way past anything I have been able to do in a short time.

Nice work.
