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

    Zen and the art of woodworking.

    I like them especially the brushwork/calligraphy, where do you get your characters from, the net of someone you know?

    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

    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
