Comment: this was the first time I carved using a specific object as my maquette. The internal section felt quite ambitious and I was pleased it worked. The curved lines on the outer sections were a late addition and seemed to pull it together. The finish was experimental: I wanted to emmulate the dull outside of the shell and the glossy interior. I was pleased with the result.
Flame (1)
material: balsa wood and rosewood base
size: 300 x 100 x 80 mm (h x w x d) (approx)

Comment: made with some balsa wood I was given, mainly using a knife and a dremel tool. Looking now I feel satisfied with its balance and grace.
