Jacques Vesery Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Bonjour mes amis Sorry to have been so absent from the forum for soooooo long. Busy, busy.... Can not keep up. In fact I just put two exhibit commitments on my calendar for Feburary..... of 2010! Ugh! I did take some time at the end of the year to build a website finally. I never thought I would, since my Galleries do such a good job in representing the work... but.... A publisher that is doing a book call "New Masters in Woodturning has included my in the book [due out this spring?] insisted in listing a website, so bit the bullet and did it kicking screaming the whole way Please take look when you have a chance... any input for improvements will be greatly appreciated... note the music on the slide may not work for everyone. I am working out a few bugs still. There are some newer pieces here and there on the site.... enjoy Jacques www.jacquesvesery.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsterling Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I enjoyed my visit to your website, Jacques. I especially liked the pieces with the baseball gloves - nice carving. They really look like worn leather, and fit the shapes so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi Jacques, that's a really pleasant site to browse through. I really appreciated your Spirit stones and I think the "palettes and things" idea is brilliant. It really helps provide a bit of context for the finished sculpture. Congratulations Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ruslander Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The organic quality of your work makes it very pleasing to my eye. Interesting how you seem to have come from a technical engineering(?) background and embraced the arts so successfully. Perhaps some insight into your marketing strategies would be welcomed in the forum: Doing Business - Design/Bid Charges. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Vesery Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks Tom, Ford and Mike for your kind words....did anyone have any trouble or see any funky type, etc. ??? first, the leather texture came about from the idea of the glove in the collab. top with bonnie klien...I like it too, although some of my peers think it is just a way for my to speed up the process. Yes the smooth areas go a bit faster than feathers, but the sticthing can take twice as long... as many of you know already, it not about time, it's about outcome. second, the palettes have been a nice addition to what I exhibit. The show I had in Florida last Feb. had three framed palettes along with the pieces, which worked out well. One sold with the matching piece and one separate... an oil painter who shows in the same gallery said " oh I didn't know you abstract watercolors as well?" She and her husband bought the set...... third, technical engineering? Interesting Mike... I am curious what makes you think that? The closest I come is being a submarine in navy... oh, and I was the first Zamboni driver in Hawaii [really] but that is about it. As for Marketing, we all know that is a tough one. I have been very lucky... good karma I guess. Things always seem to fall in place, and I can't seem to keep up. I will try to chime in on the bid charge discussion as you suggest ASAP. Thanks again Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I just sent you an email with some observations. No need to go off topic with web design stuff. Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Strom Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Classy site with great composition. The picture of you at the window is a great touch and seems to be an invitation and statement all at the same time. I think everything flows together nicely. I am impressed by the elegance of the design, execution and colors. Really graceful work. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward_k Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Great work and very interesting to see you studio - looks like it's in the woods so guess it is peaceful too. Nice to have some space ! I am trying to make a space at the moment but it is working out about 2.5m x 3m (about 7m square). I remember your work from last year and will have a better look at your site now. Cheers Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Jacques, You site and work are very elegant. I am particularly fond of the use of gold and silver leaf. It really makes your carvings stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
