“on The List” means

updated: 9-14-26

—-> you purchased a blank ALREADY(from a caster) & had it shipped to Donna at some point & it’s currently resting inside its own basket/drawer patiently awaiting its turn in line. OR, it’s still in it’s shipping box waiting to be unboxed by our receiving department.

OR/AND

—-> you contacted Donna at some point & asked for one of her own blanks. You then chose 1-2 for yourself & when it’s your turn - you discuss your turning preferences(see below).

In either scenario, the blank arrives at our shop and our receiving department unboxes it, takes a picture of it and sends it directly TO you as ‘picture proof’ of it’s arrival. It then gets sorted into it’s respective place in Donna’s system where all the blanks are stored. When it’s your turn in line, Donna reaches out to lets you know ahead of time.

NOTE 1: we PREFER to send this ‘picture proof’ picture to you in TEXT MESSAGE (on your cell phone) because facebook gets a little frustrated when we send TOOOO many pictures through it’s chat client called ‘messenger’. If you can provide your cell phone # when you first contact us - things will go MUCH smoother. OUR phone # is 828-447-1264.

======================================

Turning Preferences:

***A***. [Freestyle]-[thin/medium/thick]

Artist’s choice! Donna can turn the pen HOWEVER she likes. Make it cool, make it unique. I want a complete Artist’ choice on my pen(s) and i do want to be included by being sent pictures through the process. (specify rings and/or crystals or none and thickness)

***B***. [Copy]-[thin/medium/thick]

I have a perfect pen design that i saw recently & would like Donna to get as close to it as possible with MY blank(s).

(Donna wishes to respect other artists creations & will not copy another turners design but can incorporate some of the details while giving it her own flair. (Send a picture of this design) not all designs CAN be copied, but Donna will communicate with you about it.)

***C***. [Custom]-[thin/medium/thick]

I am seeking something truly unique or different that has certain features i really like! I’d like Donna to walk me through the steps to get there. [captive rings & crystals are optional]

======================================

“Add-Ons” or “extras”

These are little things that Donna can do to your pens. They include crystals added, flower sprays, inlays, captive rings, geode (small, medium or large), embedded crystals, other custom work.
