Hi
First of all english is not my first language so I apologize for grammar mistake or bad use of words. I'll try to talk of this project that I'm really proud in my best english.
But it will be long and boring, so you can skip right now to the pic at end of the post.
I think that the greatest craft are crafted to fit a specific theme or idea. The customer see the result in a certain way. He try to get us understand exactly the picture he have in mind. It's like he put a seed in our head. But in the end, it's the crafter imagination, skill and his own taste who decides the final result. You could ask 100 pen turner the same pen using the sames words and you could end up with 100 differents works of art.
Seriously? You're still here? Even me I would have given up.
I've been blessed that my aunt is Danielle goyette. A little backgroud, she played 16 years for Team Canada. She went 3 time to Olympic and been flag carrier for 1. She have a total of 2 gold(salt lake city,turino) and 1 silver medals(nagano) and coached 1(sotchi). Been 8 time out of 9 world champion. This year she have been the fifth woman to be inducted in the hockey hall of fame.
Wow! Still there? Keep going then only one paragraph to go! You're a the best!
We had a little event in our hometown and I've been ask to make a pen for her. I accepted gladly. I had some direction as they wanted a classy pen using the white and red color for canadian color of course. So I jumped right away in epoxy/dye/ pigment mixing. I secretly decided to add the 2 gold and 1 silver strip to represent her olympic medal. I was waiting an order to achieve the pen on deadlines. It was supose to arrive thursday. But I had to go pick it up friday at 2pm at the transit center 45 minutes from home cause it would have arrive monday.Glue up the tube friday night. I finished the pen saturday at noon and left for the event at 3pm.
Finally, I had to go give her on stage wich is really not my thing haha but it went well everybody was amazed and I had alot of really good comments wich I worth alot. So if you kept reading till here, that means alot to me. Thanks you! I shared you a little happiness of my crafter life today.
