Head Space

It's been almost 3 weeks since I turned a single thing and it's really, really exciting.  The thought of returning to the lathe in a few weeks time is filling me with such excitement.

Although the time away from the lathe and other things has allowed me to find a piece and calm I never thought possible.

Life has a strange way of throwing you a curve ball.  On one hand things are looking so positive and happy for you and then WHAM! Something happens to you that is unexpected.  It could be anything, a lottery win, a death, a phone call, an illness, a surprise breakfast in bed or an innocent smile from a child.

The point is that we all change, from one thing to another at all times.  We are never the same person twice and we must remember that every journey in life is always with your 'self'!

This realisation has given me some wonderful ideas for a series of turned scupltures,  I have gathered my resources and realise I can produce a unique blend of turned sculptural work.  The process is simple like the pieces themselves but they will be contemporary and stylish objects for the current times.

I will make these sculptures collectors pieces, as I believe that a true collector of my work is essential for my development.  Hopefully, when I reveal the collection some one will connect with the pieces and want to 'acquire' them.

Here is a single resource image that has sparked this whole series idea:

Thank you for stopping by.

    Glad you are excited about getting back to it. I will look forward to the series. The more I use the lathe as a part process the more I realise the possibilities.

    Cheers
