and we had a good long talk about lots of things turning. Jim always amazes me with his willingness to share his knowledge and experience. When he says "no secrets" he means it. I mentioned to Jim that with so many views of his fine tutorial (over 3,000) I wondered how many of us "Creekers" have attempted to duplicate his style of basket illusion work. Jim had no idea, so here's the question; how many have given this a try?? Since I'm asking the question, I'll start things off showing my first three "attempts". Since my visit with Jim back in early March I haven't done a whole lot of turning, but I have done a lot of burning and dyeing...and head scratching...and having my eyes cross from all this detail. Anyway here are mine- show us yours.
