Turning of the Week for July 26, 2021

[Emiliano Achaval]

This week's turning of the week goes to Nature's Memento: Milkweed by the talented Linda Ferber. I have enjoyed watching Linda's evolution as an artist since her well-deserved retirement from the AAW main office. Her "Nature's Memento: Milkweed" piece combines several elements that all come together ideally. Turning, carving, coloring, metal. I was a bit biased since I have a Crown flower plant right by my bedroom's window. The plant is the favorite of Monarch butterflies and was Queen Liliuokalani's best-loved flower lei.

Congratulations to Linda, and thank you for taking all of us on her journey by sharing her work here and on other social media.

Thank you for the selection and kind words. This was a fun piece, hopefully, the piece brings a memory or joy to others.

Thank you Donna, it was a difficult decision leaving a job I loved. However creating a new existence with new experiences has been rewarding.

Linda I agree with Donna your pieces have really jumped in creativity, But I think maybe you have been a closet turner all those years

Yes, I started in about 2000. Life got priority for many of those years.
