<\/a><\/p>\nI enjoyed Princes work, and made this a tribute to him, “Purple Haze”.\u00a0 It was made with Purple Halite, but was not as purple as I had hoped.\u00a0 The wood tone had an affect on the color the eye observed.\u00a0 Still more to learn.<\/p>\n

Five years ago I hosted a class given by Stephen Hatcher where he showed us a process which allowed us to add stone to our turnings. \u00a0I started with simple embellishments, adding stone to rims and filling voids. This adds interest to the turnings. \u00a0But the real fun is when you go beyond this. \u00a0Somehow … Continue reading Stone & Wood<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":183,"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76\/revisions\/183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daves-turned-art.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>\u00a0 My daughter loves cats. \u00a0I’m more of a dog person, but I carved out a cats paw and some claw marks all over the bowl. \u00a0It was a success.<\/p>\n<\/a>One day I was outside admiring the sky. \u00a0This was a piece of walnut that had been drying for a few years and was a perfect piece, no voids, no cracks. \u00a0Just not very interesting. \u00a0I carved clouds into it. \u00a0With a light behind it, the translucent stone glows.<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0This shows the extremes that can be made with a stone rim. \u00a0A beautiful maple figured crotch piece just begged for an accent. \u00a0Learning how to add this was a real learning experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
