Colours of Christmas
« on: December 24, 2016, 03:20:22 PM »

   Wasn`t  going to post these ... but seeing its Christmas Eve and they are quite bright  with chrsitmassy colours
   thought we would ..... They had been lurking around for a while and thought it about time they were finished
   The Amphora is 7 1/2".L .. it dos not sit on this support well but very undecided which type of support to go for
   contemporary or natural ...... The boxes 4 1/2" high.....and 3 1/2"... H/F 4" dia .... bowls 4" dia
   Comments Are As Always Most Welcome
   Kind Regards Tony di

As always, a fine selection. I particularly like the amphora and the hollow form in picture #4.

   Think the Amphora is our favourite but didn`t turn out quite as dramatic as the other red and gold one.
   Keep having little goes at this .... still a lot to learn.

I've got to say I am particularly struck by the hollow-form and box in the third image, the depth of colour in the acrylic make me think of black opals, a stone I am particularly fond of.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Well the amphora for me, but then I like the little hollow from in 3 & 4

   The Amphora is our favourite as well Ed..... But still struggling on what`s best to sit it on.
