Well here is some stuff I been doing. I did an old boat oar that we had and made a small mosaic on it, I really liked the grain of the wood how it had aged so I didn't cover the whole oar. I started it about 1 year and a half ago and didn't like what I had on it so I got my wonderful husband Jerry to take it off with a screw driver and hammer...talk about flying pieces everywhere...sheesh..ok my husband has informed me it is NOT an oar it is a CANOE PADDLE (whatever!!!)

The bowl is my bowl that I have worked on for a little under two months. It was done for a bowl exchange. I don't know who is sending me a bowl but my bowl went to Menomonee (something like that) falls Wisconsin. It arrived today in fact. I was very surprised because that was a long way to go in such a short time!!! I mailed it Monday, priority mail. I was hoping it would get there next week!!! Oh well, I think she liked it though...

Well my class is done..and here is the finished product!!! It is hanging in our window in the living room. It is now puttied and patinaed. I know its hard to tell! Class was really fun and the instructor did a great job, he wasn't overbearing like some teachers can be..he taught and it was fun!!!

I will be making a bigger panel after my bowl swap after March..well actually I have to finish Jerrys oar THEN I will start on my panel. Its a little bigger and has more pieces.I keep telling myself..baby steps..baby steps!!!
