Art show entries....

[Robert McGowen]

I am submitting two pieces to a National Arts program art show later this month. This will be my third year to enter and I was fortunate enough to win a blue ribbon each time the previous two years. As it is a mixed media competition with about 80% photographs and paintings, I was kind of surprised that a woodturning did so well. My previous two entries were both segmented vases, so I am kind of going out on a limb with something different this year. C and C are welcome and thank you for looking.

The platter is 12" wide and based on a Navajo double wedding basket design. The vase is 8" tall and based on an African Zulu beer basket.

Stunning pieces. I have always been amazed at the basket designs posted here and these appear Perfect. Should have no trouble picking up another blue

[Klaus Waldeck]

So, these are not actually woven baskets? These are wood turnings that have been carved to look like woven baskets?

[Mike Golka]

Great looking pieces Robert, I'm sure you will do well again this year. Good luck.

Looks like you'll have to make room for a couple more blue ribbons Robert. Very very nice!
