Some Easter Treats, pics

>Hello,

Today I was able to get in the shop and turn some pens, it�s Good Friday and we are off work.

These pens are all made with stabilized box elder burl. The pen kits all come from Craft Supply USA. The kits are platinum Gentlemen�s, 10k Gold Gentlemen�s and a 22k Statesman.

A few of these are already sold, they go to fund my Pens For Canadian Peacekeeper project.

I wish you all a wonderful Easter, Peace and Blessings to you all.

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Very colorful and attractive pens. The blue burl pen puts me in mind of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night."
