P. Bedard Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.

Marksnagel Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.

Dillon Sculpture Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Good effort! I see energy.....yours. The willingness to try things you've never done before is a gift...run with it...... B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seldom (dick renker) Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.

Bentiron1946 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Nice looking form, I don't think it needs anything else, its good to go as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P. Bedard Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks folks! It's my first foray into the "art for art sakes" world. Still not sure if I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Nice work. My suggestion is just do some more. These kinda things gotta " just happen " sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 do more!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefdouglas Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 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.

Perrin Aybarra Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
