Did you do a lot of LSD when you were younger? :-)

I’m just kidding. That is one extremely cool piece of art. I am most impressed.

And….. you didn’t paint the walnut! A++

You outdid yourself this on this one Debbie. A very intelligent yin yang entry. Really unique from a woodworking perspective and a great story of what it represents. I’m really impressed. I’m not participating in this contest because I’m kind of busy with other stuff right now, but If I had it wouldn’t be anywhere near near as good as this one. Good luck with your great entry.

Beautiful sculpture Debbie and an excellent story that is associated with the meaning of the art. I appreciate the special touches and the creative method you used to achieve the effect you wanted. I am sure your entry will do very well.

I have to agree this is pretty cool and it is reflective of your unique personality. Deb, you certainly are one of a kind. :)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very nice. Love the story and the curling iron tie in as well as the mixed media add ons. I would love to see the piece photo grapherd from the side as well.

Debbie: A great work of art. A wonderful creation.

thanks everyone :) Chopper: I posted another photo, from the side. The sculpture is sitting on top of a box because there was some poly. that had dripped onto the bottom and I didn’t want it to stain my piece of leather that I used for the background. I edited the top of the pix to eliminate the corners of the leather (because of the colour they were confusing)

I have a curling iron in my shop, too! I’ve only used it to bent thin pieces of inlay, but this is one cool idea, Debbie.

Oh no, it’s so….... so…..... gurly curly. Great creative newness.

again – thanks to everyone !

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

very beautiful..really …...its a certain eye catcher…....

-- YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED BY THE GRIZZMAN...[''''']

Great story. Is the sculpture meant to be viewed top down (ie could be a wall hanging) or from the side at eye level or lower?

Maybe you should make a mini Lazy Larry to showcase it – put it on a motor so it circulates…

I guess that would be a little overboard, but I remember that birdhouse you put up so I am sure that would be in your league ;)

ma’amdeb ,

this is quite the inspiration !

very well done .

have you got anything ,
using the skyhook ?

-- david - only thru kindness can this world be whole .

Wow Debbie!.......I love it!

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

it will go on the wall as soon as I find where it belongs.

a turntable? Ah yes.. overboard lol

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Very beautiful, creative and definitely inspiring!!
The piece is a true work of art and the story has a definite touch of surrealism to it.

Terrific. This is a great original work you have here!!!

Debbie,
Don’t you wish you could get curls like that in your hair?
And get them to hold like these? LOL
This is very well thought out.
A great Yin &Yang representation.
Fantastic !! : )
