Showing your work - Results

[Jenny Brandis]

Well everyone - I did it - I not only got the courage to enter a bobbin in the local show but also entered 6 of my husbands turned pens.

The judging was yesterday but the pavilion is not open to the public until this afternoon but :) I got a peak and ...... are you sitting down?

We won first and third in the class - Constructed Hardwood Article!!!

What a buzz!

[speedy]

let me be the first to congratulate you both. Well done :D :D :D :D :D :D

PS You'll have to post some pics when you get them back

Ditto on the 'grats. You'll have to convince the other half to build a cabinet to hold next years' trophies... ;)

These are the photos taken at the show today - I get to pick the items up tomorrow and will do better photos for the website. The first is the pens and bobbin turning by husband (3rd place) & I (1st place), the second is the 2nd place piece.

BTW for those of you who have been watching my progress on the site - the URL is http://www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace.html

After seeing this maybe we should have a forum where awards can be shown by forum members, awards etcNot as one upmanship but as appreciation and respect for those who are members of this forum and in a way our extended family to show their achievements .
Well done Jenny and though you couldn't make them with a plane I still appaluad your efforts and well deserved awards




The trouble with life is there's no background music.

From the pic it looks like the one that was on the RH side of the pic of all your bobbins, yes? No?

I do not know if you are aware of Bonnie Klein. She is a turner specialising in threads and has even developped a special machine to thread small boxes.Here is what I tried to realise. The box is 6 cm (about 2 inches)

Now that is some impressive work, especially the decoration at the top as it looks *exactly* like the label on some old wooden thread reels I have.

Sheesh!!!
cheers
