The International Turning Exchange is nearly over and Hilary Pfeifer has completed her installation project. This is quiet a long post and one really needs to see several of the pictures to really understand what it is all about. There are no hollow vessels, natural edges or exotic woods here. Just some blocks of wood turned on multiple axes, painted red , blue and yellow and hung on wires in an alleyway. I guess this is what happens when you let an artist loose with a lathe - something different to the norm. The title for this installation is "Liminal Space".
An exhibit of the work created by the 2006 International Turning Exchange opens on Friday. AllTURNatives: International Turning Exchange 2006, Aug. 4 - Oct. 21, 2006. On Saturday there is an opportunity to join the 2006 ITE artists and Executive Director Albert LeCoff for a gallery talk and discussion panel featuring the art created during this year's residency.

Carnival of the Creators #11
Welcome to the 11th edition of Carnival of the Creators, a monthly roundup of creativity in the blogosphere. Last month the carnival visited Grackle Stew.
This month the carnival concentrates solely on wood.
Rockler's Woodworking Blog looks at the Advantages of Designing Your Own Projects.
Woodturner Andi Wolfe is currently taking a five day course with Jean-François Escoulen. She is learning to use a bedan and how turn trembleurs.
Christopher Schwarz of Woodworking magazine builds a Roman-style plane.
Philly makes his own moulding planes.
Hilary Pfeifer has been blogging from the International Turning Exchange and reports on progress with her installation and a collaborative bowl made from laminated pegboard.
Also from the ITE, Vincent Romaniello has made a short video promoting the Open Community Day this coming Saturday.
Woodturner Dennis Laidler makes a collaborative piece with Carol Rix.
I'm very pleased to see that a Nigerian 419 scammer is spending his time more wisely and has taken up woodcarving. And if you don't believe how much wood shrinks, be sure to read the whole article on 419eater.
That's it for this month. If you would like to host a forthcoming edition, or have a creative blog post to submit for inclusion, please see Carnival of the Creators for details.
