    nothing special trust me ..
    Bugger me.
    Nothing special. That whole piece is special. Great work.

    often a very good result is given by a set of small parts, do not love the finish to water, because often forces you to sand after the application, but in this case I needed to make the surface aged in this parts and the water helped this .. thanks for your comments ..

    I'd like to ask a question from a point of knowing nothing ... it looks to me like an utterly amazing artwork ... but the bowl section in the middle half puzzles me.

    Maybe it is the difference between being a sculpture and ... (I'm struggling) ... a 'commercially attractive artwork' (???)

    I'm not meaning to be offensive, because it's very beautiful and way beyond my capability ... it makes me think of fantasy spaceships that I have only seen as a 2D illustrations.

    Do you have a vision of how the bowl section would be used, or even if it would be used? (by a purchaser)

    I'm quite blown away by it.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi francè,
    This is one of those pieces that the more you look into it the more you see and is beautifully carried out, it is inspiring to see the thought that has gone into the process from the drawing to the finished product.
    Regards Rod.

    Hi Paul .. no offense this is simply the intimate expression of a thought, and the satisfaction of talking with your hands, creating something unique and unrepeatable, the bowl can not be used to do something for those who love this kind of pieces is the best way look to meditate

    many thanks for your comments

    Sorry - I was being unclear - I didn't mean 'used' like eg a kitchen bowl.
    I had wondered if you had imagined it with a particular plant in the bowl ... or a striking stone or crystal ...or something like that.
    Thanks,
    Paul
