I Was Amazed 😍 How This One Turned Out - Purple Walnut Lidded Bowl

Finding inspiration for a weekly video is sometime hard. In this video I almost fail but I was determined to have a video. I take an overpour blank consisting of walnut and TotalBoat resin off of the Shelf of Shame. I incorporate some other cut offs from my kitchen counters and make a hollow form with an amazing lid.
This video shows how inspiration and use of failed projects can lead you to make something better than the pieces you use.

For those of us who simply cannot afford to buy such a lovely piece of art, it's good to, at least, watch its creation. Gorgeous. 👍👍

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much!

[@otekrec]

Nice one, Ken! 👍🏻 You don’t necessarily have to break your back coming up with the most complex or different project for each vid. I know I am perfectly happy just watching you turn a bowl out of some pretty wood, I am sure plenty of others feel the same way. No need to over-think it! It doesn’t have to be an all new, revolutionary concept every time. 😃

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Ola. I appreciate the support

[@onhandart]

What a way to not only come back from a "failure," but to find the diamond in the project! Thank you for sharing your art.

Love love love the gorgeous purple with that beautiful walnut. You truly give teaching moments by showing oopsies and how to fix them. One great teaching moment is after blowing up and then walking away to take some deep breaths to calm down, coming back later or the next day to execute your beautiful fixes. 💕😊💕

Great to see you redeem this from the shelf of shame and then keep persevering with it through the challenges. So encouraging to see that things don't always go right, but can end up looking beautiful anyway.

Beautiful bowl. I know for myself I've had times that I want to create something but come up blank. One of my son's is a bench jeweler and same happens to him. It is what it is. Usually something unexpected and wonderful is created. Nice job

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for those words.

[@siouxmouland5948]

It came out pretty awesome for something that made you work for every bit of it. We all feel frustrated at times. It just proved your human. Lol. Relax hopefully next week will be better.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for the support

[@iameatingtrifle]

Don't stress yourself over always trying to think of something different to make for us each week. The process of turning a project is what I enjoy watching and I would guess so do a lot of people. If you threw a bunch of sticks in a mold and poured the resin and then turned the same shape vase or bowl 100 times, each one would still be different and unique, and most of us would still enjoy the video :)

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for that.

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

That came out beautiful, Ken! I have those moments at times myself. I've had to make a few new handles because of those moments. lol You're right. People don't understand how much time it takes to make just a 10-20 minute video. Great job on this one!

[@MoonpieCreations]

This one was 5 hours of video. Heck of a life right?!?

[@AnnuszkaW]

I just love the form, the colours -everything about it. The proportions arę heavenly. You’ve got talent!!!! ;))))))))

And that was on the shelf of shame for what reason. That ended up absolutely beautiful. I love walnut!!👍👍

[@MoonpieCreations]

It was an over pour from another bowl. Then I dumped that purple resin on it. The Shelf of Shame does not mean the project if a failure. It is where they go until I decide if they are failures. 😃

[@LStiglet]

With all the curses you hurled at this project, you really saved face on it. It's a beautiful piece. To me, it looks like a honey pot, minus the drizzling wand. Very nice work, sir.

Bless your heart. I so understand your frustration. A hiccup comes along, makes you frustrated and say words that aren't exactly the nicest in the world. We don't normally say them either. As a person who works with yarn and other fiber related items, I find my frustrations too. I find a solution and complete the project. Stepping away is always one of the best things to do. Keep on keeping on my friend. You do good work in spite of frustrating projects.

[@MoonpieCreations]

There sure was a lot of resin involved to not have the music. 🤣 I totally get it Ken, I too struggle to find inspiration. As a new wood turner, it's hard to figure out what to make, then it's hard to figure out how to make that. Sometimes I too am just "not feelin' it". Thanks for the video, it's a good looking bowl! 😎

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. Sometimes I just grab a wood blank and turn to get the juices flowing.

[@LordRae]

I love the wood Purple Heart. My favorite wood for sculpture projects. But it’s so damn dense you always end up spending most of your time sharpening your tools. Yes it gets brown when exposed to the sun so maybe purple resin is the answer.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Expose it to heat then seal it with a finish. That will help keep it purple.

Hello, I think this is my first comment on one of your videos but I really wanted to thank you for sharing your struggles about getting ideas on a regular basis. I can relate to this. I think that what helps me the most in those cases is that I work with a team and talking with them is really helpful. It leads me in directions I would have never imagined. Maybe, you could do the same with your community. Lots of people have probably lots of ideas, good or bad, and it could be a starting point to start something or come up with your own ideas... Here are some ideas for you : rainbow bowl, rain bowl, bow bowl, mortar and pestle, canes, animal patterns... I hope this inspires you or at least I tried 😁
