SMC Turner Interview - Nancy Laird

[Nancy Laird]

I now have several fellow Creekers on my case to get to bowls! I've posted a couple of my bottle stoppers here and got some positive responses. Great for the ego, thanks! My next project is a weed vase from a piece of maple that Scott Donley sent with the auction piece I bought, and then I'm going to tackle a bowl. Some person on this board--who shall remain nameless (Chris)-- has been nagging me gently and told me recently that it seemed that the only way he was ever going to see a bowl from me was to send me a blank. I'm watching my mail! I think that if it weren't for the encouragement (friendly and gentle) that I've been getting from Chris Hartley, Ken Fitzgerald, Dennis Peacock, and Keith Burns, I'd probably still be sticking to pens, but I'm gathering my courage and I'm gonna do it!


Oh, and please identify that neighbor for me. Need to have her name erased from the state archives.

Andy, you're gonna have to add Bernie Weishapl to the list in the paragraph above--now he's jumped into the fray - on TWO boards.

And there's no way that I'm going to tell you my neighbor's name---she's also my accountant and might increase her rates!!

Thanks all for the nice comments. This was fun...even though I told Andy it was Chris Hartley's turn!!! And Mark Pruitt, who "nominated" me, is still on my "list." I'll look for your interview next week, Chris!

I hear Google calling my name, and I already have your address. This'll be a snap.

I hear Google calling my name, and I already have your address. This'll be a snap.

So...come to visit me here in New Mexico and I'll introduce you to her. Until then, my lips are sealed.

Really enjoyed the interview Nancy, and getting to know you a little better. Can't wait to see what you turn out next, whether it's with the laser, or the lathe. Keep us posted!

[Mark Pruitt]

So glad you did the interview, Nancy!
And just a couple days after it's posted, you've made your way into the world of bowl turning! Yippee!!!!!
