Creative Woodworks & crafts 2005-11, страница 10
from the editor's desk Welcome lo the 112th edition of Creative Woodworks & Craftsl For (hose of you who read this magazine regularly, (he name Dirk Boelman is probably a familiar one. but I bet you didn't know that Dirk's two sons, Jamie and Mike, are budding pattern artists! In tact, each of them contributed ten ornament designs to this issue and it seems that Dirk's got himself two "chips off the old block." Good work, boys! As usual, John Polhemus is helping to keep things interesting with a couple of very innovative 3-D mini clocks (page 11), and he also collaborated successfully with the talented BJ Holm to produce "Hound Heaven" on page 24. After a couple of issues without him, it feels good to have Rick Hutcheson back with his "Rick's Tips" feature. Rick is as devoted to the art of scroll sawing as anyone I know, and he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Going forward, expect to see Rick's articles in this publication on a consistent basis. Sue Mey's Trinket Box was actually slated to be in our last issue (Holiday. 2005) but we ran out of pattern space, so it's on page 34 of this edition. On its own it's a fine project, but like a Hostess cupcake with a surprise filling in the middle, the Trinket Box has a surprise bonus project in the middle—an attractive stand-up clock made from glued-up "waste" material generated by the project. Sue's Teapot Plaque (page 8) is also a a sweet design, and we're very pleased to be working with this gifted lady from South Africa. Orchid Davis' woodbuming series continues in this issue with her "Honey, I Burned the Fish" article. We've received enthusiastic feedback from many of you regarding Orchid's ongoing woodburning forum. Thank you, Wes and Alicc Dcmarcst, for "discovering" Orchid for us and recommending that her work be included in Creative Woodworks <£ Crafts. About Reader's Gallery—first, 1 apologize for not having one in litis issue. While it's been fun to pr oduce, 1 overbooked this issue and, to make space, "bumped" Reader's Gallery out of it. However, we intend to include it in every' issue from now on! We have received so many good Reader's Gallery submissions thai we are a bit "jamtned-up" for the next few issues (a "good problem"); therefore, 1 have a suggestion: if you would like to send in photos for Reader's Gallery but have not yet done so, consider contributing to our online Reader's Gallery. This may be done by accessing our website (woodworksand-crarts.com), going to our Forum, and where it says "Select a Forum," click on "Reader's Gallery." From there, click on "How to show a picture in a post," and you'll be on your way. What's nicc about our online Reader's Gallery is that you get instantaneous feedback from other scrollers. Also, some of our talented designers (like Jell Zaffino and Bob Valle) have begun sharing some of their brand-new creations through the online Reader's Gallery well before they hit the market. That's it for now. Enjoy this issue and until we meet again, health and happiness to you all! fOWTIVEl 1CRAFTS Creative Woodworks & Crafts* is a registered trademark of All American Crafts.
