April 1, 201214 yr 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.
April 1, 201214 yr 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. Mark <><
April 1, 201214 yr 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.
April 1, 201214 yr Good effort! I see energy.....yours. The willingness to try things you've never done before is a gift...run with it...... B)
April 1, 201214 yr 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! :)
April 1, 201214 yr 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.
April 2, 201214 yr Author Thanks folks! It's my first foray into the "art for art sakes" world. Still not sure if I like it.
April 2, 201214 yr Nice work. My suggestion is just do some more. These kinda things gotta " just happen " sometimes.
April 12, 201214 yr 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.
September 10, 201213 yr 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.
