11"H x 7.5"W x 1.75"D. Ambrosia maple, turned, carved, textured, pierced. Stand is merante, paint, brass rod. This is a further exploration into the textural inspirations that I'm deriving from my beachcombing findings. This particular piece is from a fragment of a hard clam, commonly found on beaches in northeast Florida. I held off on making this piece until returning from Hartford, because I wanted input on the first one which I had in the IG. I'm especially grateful to Marilyn Campbell, who gave me an indepth criticism of that piece, and also to Ed Kelle, who gave me the knowledge needed to bring out what I saw in this piece. This piece may or may not be finished. I'm thinking of bleaching the maple, also leaning towards a slightly bigger stand. As such, I would greatly appreciate all comments and criticisms.
