Hi Roger, I like this piece. When I saw it, I immediately thought of "Wind blown". Very nice.. :2tsup:

I am along similar lines to Jim above, perhaps "wind swept"

Beautiful piece indeed

It looks like a flame to me. How about "The eternal flame."
Nice job, by the way.

For a title, I was thinking 'Anybody seen my vase?'

The Red Ivory looks like a drop of blood so how about Hearts Blood?

Whatever you call it, it must have taken a little courage to destroy a whole vase just to get that on piece from it - well done.

Very nice indeed. Carrying on from Hugh's suggestion you could go for the nostalgia market and call it, Candle in the Wind.

How about "empty flame" or "alight"?

Hi roger,
When I first saw your piece I thought
Earth, wind and fire, which kinder fits
The three elements you have there
Great looking piece by the way
Well done
Cheers smiife:2tsup:

Thanks dr4g0nfly, artme, jimbur, michael_m and smiife pleased you all like the piece. dr4g0nfly the rest of the vase will be used. Seen as most folk saw a flame I decided on Wood Turners Flame of Friendship Cheers Roger C

Another great piece:2tsup::2tsup: like the idea of using a part of another turned piece

I have just started to play with pieces that are more Arty and realise after seeing work that you and some of the other members produce that I have a long way to go yet.

Have been looking at this piece and I certainly could not come up with a name as those before have thought of all the appropriate names.

An interesting piece. Sorry but just can not name it but it reminds me of fire.
