The other day I posted a question about Shaping the Foot. I want to know how you identify a foot that fit's with a piece. At the time I was considering this Hollowed Out Banksia. I'd made it but was not sure what foot I wanted on it or what it should look like. I'd made several, all fairly traditional and nothing seemed to suit it or sit well under it.
So today SWMBO wanted to visit an early afternoon boot fair, and there on one of the tables was this driftwood, she spotted it before I did, but 2 bit's at 50p bonus.
The finial is not the finished article, this is beech stained black with a glass jewellery bead inset. The final one will be Blackwood, but the bead (or another one of a different colour) will still be included.
So I've balanced them together and taken a few pics and posted these 2 here.
It is a Work in Progress, still not sure how it will finish but this may be close to the final product.
Comments as you will, other ideas always welcome,
(There is granite base in one of the pics - just to try something different in the photographs).
Thanks for looking (and you lurkers, thanks for peeking!)
