YOU ASKED FOR IT


I'm pretty sure you've seen this before. This is the Vase that I made and gave to Brad's daughter, Roxanne, as a wedding present. I gave it to the newly weds in April and asked if I could have it back for entry into the OC Fair. They were happy with that. Of course, we were all hoping it would win an award. And it's pretty cool that it won First Place in it's catagory (embellished turnings).

OC Fair


OK, so I lied. The pinecone vase didn't get three blue ribbons; it got four. 1st Place, Division Winner, Best in Show, and Juror's Choice. Turns out "Juror's Choice" is an option for an individual juror to make an award separate from the other judges, if he sees fit. And the placement of the piece is nicely in the middle of things. I'm basking in my 15 minutes of fame. I worked at the fair today. Some people just really wanted to know how it was done. So it was fun to explain the process.
