Ikebana thingy No2

[Bodrighy]

This is a little hollow form/pot, 6" tall and 4" max diameter made from a piece of scrap blackthorn. It split and has been filled in a few places then buffed to a high gloss. The base is some scrap that has been cleaned and then buffed. I have the three stones but will replace them with slightly larger ones, just managed to get some washed river pebbles. Need a better photo but this will have to do for the moment. Critique etc welcome

I like the whole effect Pete, but I agree that it could do with a better photo.

Again I really like that, I'm not sure though if there needs to be more contrast between the pot and the wooden base, but that's probably down to personal preference

Very nice. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Thank you
Doing these or any Japanese inspired work is really hard. They have the knack of keeping it simple and that is much more difficult than going complex, nowhere to hide your faults.
