Polymer clay finial supposed to represent balancing stones! Japanese symbols representing peace,love,friendship etc.
Another Poly clay handle. Symbols representing Chinese zodiac Monkey,Donkey etc!

I like the form, and especially the combination of materials. Good work

An excellent work, wood and oriental philosophy are a good marriage, me too when I design furniture, Feng-Shui applied, we are almost neighbors, a greeting from Tenerife.
I wonder why buy rice and flowers? Rice is to live and flowers to have something to live for. Confucio

Dragonfly - I used freely available symbols off the web so I don`t upset anyone`s copyright!

Forgot to ask . Is the polymer clay the Miliputt variety??? I've been unsuccessfully trying to find a supplier here in Oz while it looks like every man and his dog sells it in the UK

Hi all
Thanks again for the kind comments
TTiT - The symbols were made from images off the web and made into a stencil and then airbrushed on. When you look into these things you have no idea how much is actually copyright. Take a simple thing like a letter`A` you would think that is freely available but you find a slightly strange/different font of it and voila ruddy copyright shows its face so to avoid any hassle I use stuff that says its free to be used. The poly clay I used is called `Fimo` and the vase finial was Fimo classic and for the bowl handle I used Fimo effects. I`m still sussing out what you can/can`t do with this stuff yet and what the different makes can do!
Cheers
Steve
