Teal_Acorn_Cap_Vessel

This is my latest Acorn Cap Vessel. This is for the Small Treasures show at Del Mano along with my Purple Haze piece and one other piece I am currently trying to finish up.

This is 3 3/4" in diameter by 3 3/4" high. Of course these are some of my stock of very small live oak acorn caps cast in in a teal blue/green tinted resin. The collar is turned from the same resin. The finish is high gloss CA buffed and hand rubbed.

While I really don't have a name for this one, it is one of my favorites. Form, color, finish, just everything turned out like I wanted.

As always cheers and jeers welcome.

Thanks for looking

Beautiful. Every time I see one of your pieces it lights a fire. Have so many fires going it's hard to choose which one I'm going after.

For some reason I kept coming back to this and then I remembered that blue/green was one of my favorite Crayola crayon colors when I was a child.

Nice work, Alan.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. I personally tend to go towards blues myself and try to mix things up a bit with my pieces or they would all be blue. I have fun making these small pieces but they are very labor intensive for their size but really make a neat piece when all done.
