Odds n' ends

This posting is a melange of photos I've taken the past two months. Some are images of things that struck my fancy and others are a few of the MANY great times I've had here at the International Turning Exchange residency.
Below is a photo of a small foyer of a building near 13th and Walnut. I am love with this wallpaper and couldn't resist photographing it and sharing with you all. Isn't it just fabulous?!?!
The photo below is the view we have when we look outside the windows from the turning studio at the University of the Arts. We've truly enjoyed working there. The studios are well equipped and Bobby and Tara are AWESOME! Bobby and Tara both work for U of A as studio coordinators and have been a great help and a real treat to work with. I will miss them both.
The photo below was taken on one of the two long bike rides that Beth and I took along the Schuykill River. I didn't bring a bike to Philly but Beth did and Dan generously let us borrow his bike for these rides, which were both great fun!
As you see in the photo below, we fell victim to an awful studio flood one Saturday evening. Thankfully, we were all there when it happened and worked quickly to save our artwork and help cover all of the studio equipment and machinery. It could have been a disaster!
Lastly, this photo is of Jen Zwilling, our resident scholar. Not only is she smart but she can also turn the heck out of some wood. Check out that technique; bevel all the way!!!
