Flower with Attitude

[Jamie Donaldson]

I haven't visited this series in several years, so time to build some inventory before the next show. I don't have much trouble with people wanting to handle these pieces! :eek: Flower is Redheart with Honey Locust thorn, Environ base, 11"H

[David DeCristoforo]

That is some SERIOUS attitude! If I met that in a dark alley some night, I'd just smile and hand over my ATM card!

[David E Keller]

I would hand over David's ATM card as well.

Very cool piece. Love the thorns!

[Jim Burr]

Do not throw that at me!! DD will take it...here, take his card!
That is simple and cool...and simple did not go into the making of your piece!

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW! Love it! Love the color, the thorns and the concept! Great piece Jamie - thanks for sharing!

[Ron Stadler]

very imagitive, love it.

[John Hart]

Oh...that is so cool. I love turning flowers....thorns never occurred to me. This is a delight.

[Bob Bergstrom]

The bulb is beautiful, but the stem is scary. Nice job bring the good and the bad into harmony.

[John Keeton]

A Rose Among Thorns! Great piece, Jamie! That stamen would be a real surprise to a honey bee!

[David DeCristoforo]

"The bulb is beautiful..."

Don't you mean the "blub"?

[Dan Forman]

Very cool...hope nobody tries to smell it though.

That is very cool! That is very unique, would love to see others from that series if you could post them.

[John Keeton]

SO, is this a black locust or a red locust thornRay, probably honey locust in central KY, although we have both honey and black locust. The thorn structure is different with black locust. I would add that if you get pricked/stuck with one of these thorns, it will fester quickly - nasty stuff to work with.

[Michelle Rich]

gruesome & hostile ..wouldn't sell in my gallery..but does in your area? How interesting.

[Rex Guinn]

Jamie, it seems like I have seen one or more of these before. Have a great turning weekend in the rain. Good excuse to stay in the shop and not at the golf course.
Nice How did you turn the thorns? HA! HA!

it mite be a honey until you get stuck , then it is a RED

[Baxter Smith]

Neat idea and execution. It doesn't look too friendly though...

[John W Dixon]

This is really cool, reminds me of something from a Tim Burton movie.
