John --- You have a very fertile imagination! Love the title and the piece.

John,

I really like the piece. Wonderful form, but I think it might look better without the foot. But that may just be my taste.

Alan

I have to agree here, Alan took the words right out of my mouth. Did you hand carve or power carve? Either way It looks like a good even flow to the carving as well.

[John Keeton]

You folks are way too kind - I do appreciate your comments! The original sketch did not have the base/foot, however, while it was still on the chuck I conferred with Ms. Keeton and we agreed the foot was needed to lift the form. It sat fairly heavy without the foot - perhaps that is because "she" is a bit heavy in the hips! I nice pair of "spike heels" kept her from looking dumpy.

Joe, the minimal carving was done by hand.

[Michelle Rich]

this is different for you. I like the neck treatment. I have seen this type of carving before & have always liked it..seems to give grace to a vessel.
