March Challenge - The results

[nev]

The results are in.....

1st Nev : Nice shape to the bowl and superbly finished.

2nd heatherw - Also nicely shaped and the combination of cones and curves seems to work.

3rd henton49er - Another nicely shaped bowl with an interesting support

4th monkeybiter - a creative interpretation of the theme

5th silverbirch - well turned and a good contrast with the black.

Well done to all those who entered. The combination of multiple elements make this a difficult challenge.

Regards

Paul

Well done, nev. A quality turning well deserving of first place.

Congrats too to all the other entrants (my own particular favourite was Silverbirch's entry - very elegant and looked a well balanced piece (but, then, what do I know). Thanks also to Paul for the judging.

So, into the deeper regions of outer space we go!!

Well done to all - some very special pieces there. Sadly I got the deadline wrong and didn't get my
photos done in time for uploading

Need to get my thinking cap on for next month

 

[monkeybiter]

Well I have to say I'm chuffed with 4th considering the very high standard of turning/finishing on display. I felt rather outclassed when uploading, and honestly thought Silverbirch had 1st nailed on.

Absolutely no disrespect intended to the actual winners, their places are very well deserved, congrats to all!

 

[heatherw]

I'm astounded, having seen all the entries before uploading mine I wasn't expecting to get anywhere near the podium. And the first one I saw was Nev's which is awesome. I love it. Congratulations everyone, this is getting really interesting, such a variety of takes on the subject, just a shame there weren't more entries. It's like having a little private view every month. Everyone at work wants to see the entries each month now.

I have no inspiration whatsoever for Outer Space.....and very little time to get inspired anyway. We shall see.

None taken :mrgreen:
Honestly, I thought we were all in with a shout.

My favourite ' :idea: bit' was Dennis' bent nail, a simple thing but added so much character to the piece. =D>

Very, very well done to all of you, especially Nev - I absolutely loved his piece as soon as I saw it. In fact, I'm ALMOST tempted to go across the border to have a feel!!

Great pieces be everyone. I am simply jealous of your invention and skills.

Cheers

Greg

 

[Silverbirch]

Well done to everyone. especially you Nev! I like themes, such as this one, where there is plenty of scope for individual interpretation. fascinating to get a glimpse of how different people think!
