Couple more from Mo
« on: March 14, 2017, 06:28:36 PM »
I am running out of things for her to decorate LOL. The first is a little bowl same size as the hedgerow one and the second is a little hollow form I found in the reject bin which I cleaned up for her. She said to say that the left wing looks a bit distorted due to the curve on the form.

Two very nice pieces but the butterfly is just the one that tips it for me as being my favourite one

surely that is just a pic of a turned object and a butterfly????

that has got to be the best image of a butterfly i've ever seen.

in fact i think the wood turning spoils it  ;D ;D ;D

I like the work on the flower/leaves bowl. It looks complete and finished.

The artwork of the Purple Emperor is excellent but I think it would have sat better against a planer wood, the slight spalting detracts from it just a little. But I ask, is this just the start of a fuller decoration?

Now to say it would be handy to have an artist as good as Mo in the family would be an understatement.  I really enjoy her work ,  watch out Pete you maybe become the canvas :)

Another fine peice from both of you

You'll be able to pop off somewhere and have a week fishing, Pete.....all you need now is to teach Mo to turn!

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.
