Hey gang.
I don't do this sort of thing very often, (almost never actually) but the muse hit me and I thought I'd give it a try.
Here is the result;

Someone said it might look better on a "base" of some sort. Perhaps stone cut for the purpose.
I may look into it as long as it's not too expensive. This only took 4 feet of stock and 3 hours of work time so I can't see putting it on a hundred dollar base...
Let me know what you think.

I'm not a really artsy guy but it is really neat looking. I gave up long ago trying to figure out "What it is" and am learning just to appreciate items for their lines and craftsmanship. I like it.
Thanks for posting.

I too like the piece, the way there is tension between the two shapes that are ultimately connected to each other. I do think it need to be refined, some of it looks forced.

Good effort! I see energy.....yours. The willingness to try things you've never done before is a gift...run with it...... B)

i like it P :) it does have your energy plain to see like mac said , i like its movement, and i also agree with danger that you can refine it, or the next one, the entrance to the smaller spoon shape for instance, could look/flow more natural, but i love the actual shapes youve forged at the end of the arms, and i also dont at all think it needs stone, it is strong on its own. i really like the bevelled hammered edge on the table, and would like to see something of that character on the curves that go upwards (sorry - im crap at explaining) over all i think the piece is pretty dynamic and delicious! :)

with a little tweeking the bowl end could be turned into a candle holder. it has nice lines but not sure i want to make it so big. just me. keep experimenting its fun.

Thanks folks!
It's my first foray into the "art for art sakes" world. Still not sure if I like it.

Nice work. My suggestion is just do some more. These kinda things gotta " just happen " sometimes.

I like it, feels middle eastern to me. If you put a few drops of olive oil and a wick in the cup end you would have a neat accent lamp. To me the hardest part of sculping is knowing when a piece is done. I'd leave this one as is and make some more sculputures just for the fun of letting your mind wander.

A candle with the flame going up to the other point would look pretty neat in my opinion. The non-bowl shape reminds me of a flame.
