Turning of the Week for November 28, 2022

[hockenbery]

My selection for turning of the week is Mushroom Box by Linda Ferber. This small sculptural box is beautiful combination of a fanciful cap atop a realistic base. A lot of detail is evident in this small piece :

• the use of color to highlight curving carved ridges and little beads in the cap,
• the elegant curve, earth tone color, and organic groove combine to make a stem that looks edible.

I’ve known Linda a long time and have enjoyed looking at the work she posts.
This is great piece.


Mushroom Box with blue green and teal color combination. A lot of textures and movement in the cap. The stem has a light coat of white, beige and teal golden paint.

Thank you Al, a wonderful honor to have my piece selected by you. The mushroom box is part of a set which will be completed soon. A great surprise to start the week!

Mushroom Box

Great choice. Neat idea making it a box. The finish is outstanding. Well done Linda

I make mushrooms sometimes, but still have no idea why people are fascinated with wood mushrooms.

There does seem to be a fascination with mushrooms. I am fascinated with all the possibilities

I thought that it was a real mushroom. Excellent detail on your almost real mushroom.

Thank you! I love the blue green teal color blends.
