    Default Title eludes me

    The white piece is a section of half of a vase turned from a piece of Camphor from the Laurel family the rest of the vase can be seen in the 4 th picture. The red onion is Red Ivory and the black piece is African Black Wood. Please feel free to suggest a name. Finish is shellac mixed with a white powder same as used to colour resin for the white piece and the other two pieces blond shellac.H 260mm 10 ¼” W 108mm 4 ¼’ C & C as always welcome. Regards Roger

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

    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.

    Nice.
    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.
    Cheers,

    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

    Another great piece 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.
