Feeling Better...Can you tell?

[ladycop322]

Last week I was in the emergency room with high blood pressure and a massive migraine and beginning Saturday, I've been sick with a sinus infection and upper respiratory infection. Needless to say, I have missed work. I was sooooo bored today, and felt a little less weak, so I decided to turn a few pens. Here you go:

The segmented pen blanks were made by Jerry Baily. He is phenomenal. The plain wood pen was turned when I visited TonyL in Georgia but the CA/accelerator wasn't agreeing with me so I decided to show it who was boss! The Panthers watch parts pen was made by me and will be presented to the coach of the Florida Panthers Thursday night!!!

Those look great, Michelle. Good to hear that you are feeling better

Awesome! Your illness didn't affect your turning skills any. I hope you recover fully soon.

Your pens are beautiful. Glad your feeling a little better.

Thank you! I try

Awesome pens Michelle! I am sure the coach will be thrilled!

Charlie, that is if I can get close enough at the next Panthers game to give it to him. I would love to be able to explain my process and show him how the convertible pen functions. Fingers crossed!

Perhaps you can arrange a meeting in advance using your pen business name.
Kind of hard to explain much of anything without a few minutes of his undivided attention.
Good Luck! Keep us posted!

I sure will! Maybe I'll get a pic with him holding the pen! I'll post it if I do

Great looking work Michelle. Hope you feel better(not that it affects your work)

Thank you Rich! Hope to see you at the FLGAPG at the end of this month! You are very close to the location in Clearwater!

Sorry you were ill.. glad you are feeling better. I can see your quality of work has not suffered in any way. Totally awesome work as usual.

Man if you are having high blood pressure and migranes I would surely stay away from working with CA unless you are taking absolute care of getting the fumes out. Not a good combination. Fumes from finishes and even casting resins can aggravate those symptoms. Just look at the MSDS sheets. Hopefully things get better for you but be careful. What we work with can be harmful to say the least.

Beautiful work Michelle!
