Escargots go a-courtin'

[Michelle Rich]

Walnut 10 inches in diameter .368 thick

This was a challenging project with reversing volutes.

[David E Keller]

That's beautiful! I think this is my favorite of the pieces you've posted with negative space designs... This one is almost hypnotizing.

[Tim Thiebaut]

That is amazing!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Michelle,

Nicely done.

You can change it by...1) select "Edit" and then select the hot button "Go Advanced". Then you should be able to get to the title to change it.

Or...I could do it for you.

What a great work of art Michelle...your patience is really a virtue!!

[Roger Chandler]

WOW!!! Michelle, a great piece of art! I think you have negative spaces down to a science, although the work that goes into it is pretty intense I would think! Great turning!

[Michael James]

I can get lost in that really easily - beautiful piece! Nice way to start the yr, keep em coming!

That is very nice. You certainly have it figured out. Very nice job.

[David DeCristoforo]

Great looking piece. Much more geometric than the last one. I think I prefer the last one to this but this is very nice and I might think it my favorite of all your "negative space" efforts if not for the stunning asymmetrical piece in your last posting

[Steve Schlumpf]

That is really cool! Love the sense of motion that the piece exudes! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[John Keeton]

Michelle, this one is the best!! I thought the last one was when you posted it, but this one tops it in my book. Where David D. prefers asymmetry, I prefer symmetry, and this is beautiful. So mesmerizing - very calming to the spirit.

[Richard Madden]

Come on, Michelle, show us how you make these. Beautiful work!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice Michelle. I think this one would be my favorite.

[Michelle Rich]

Thanks ya'll I have trouble with which i like best too. I've decided BOTH! ;) Appreciate the feedback.

[Greg Just]

Very nice - your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice Michele. I find my eye sucked right into the middle of it. Almost hard to pull away from. Very much like turning!:)

[charlie knighton]

very nice....

[Cathy Schaewe]

I also liked the last one better, but that's like saying "what do you prefer, Renoir or Degas?" At this level, it's simply personal preference, as they are both amazing. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

I'll just forward the list of tools I want, and the address ... :D:D

[Michelle Rich]

Holey Moley, first you, now I have to pay Pascal for the picture of the day at WoW. I'm goin' broke! Food Stamps may be my only alternative! I'll get to work on your list of tools soon, or is that the tools are in the mail? Thanks Cathy.

[John Keeton]

Michelle, was just over at Wow - first time in a few days, and noticed you did, in fact, score the cover!!!!:D:D:D

Well deserved!! This piece supports that honor on its own, but this should also be a recognition of the work you have put into this process. Great stuff!

[Roger Chandler]

Congrats on the WOW cover, Michelle! Great turning!

[Russell Eaton]

That is stunning! Thanks for showing.

[Michelle Rich]

:DThanks John & Roger. I am delighted at the honor over at WOW. It's my 3rd Pic of the Day, and it still is as great to get as the first time. Being acknowledged by the best turner's in the world is just jaw dropping!:p Having folks tell me they recognize my work from a thumbnail and know I made it is just stunning. Used to be they just recognized my face from the posters in the post office:D
