Description
A treasure from childhood.
My brother and his friends used to spend hours behind the coalplace melting fishing weights and casting the lead as new objects.
I preferred mud pies, which I made into cakes iced with more mud and decorated with woodlice. The decorations infuriated me by wandering off.
Another aspect and no postwork Here

I love the shape. made me chuckle re the decorations of your mud pies not co operating
Love this! Definitely frustrating about those woodlice
Fascinating shapes. It seems to have a very organic-like structure, as if this was some kind of protoplasm experiencing a growth spurt...
Wow what a beautiful keepsake !
The unique shape is very eye catching.
Wonderful pic. on Flicker and amazing post work here Andrea, looks like marble.
LOL=== sad to here your cake decorations ran off on you !
Interesting Andre. My first thought was a sitting poodle!
Great looking paperweight.
Dang bugs. They never cooperate !!! Of course at my place the bugs all belong to the raccoons. I like the price.
It has s very unique look. It also has thise wonderful childhood memories.
That is so strange about the woodlice since my understanding is that they love mud pies. This is a fabulous sculpture. It looks like a bunch of creatures all piled on top of each other.
What a wonderful treasure!!! It sounds like your brother is also a very creative person. It must run in the family. Condolences over the loss of your wood lice..hehehe....nowadays you capture the insects with your amazing photography and they cannot escape.
fascinating
An artistic bunch, your family! This is wonderful...
Super abstract sculpture Andrea :)
untreated (via postwork), it's a fascinating bulbous growing moving sculpture, made of lots of wormy creatures climbing all over each other to get a cozy spot. With your postwork, it's almost a big conglomerate of jade chips, melted and fused into a swarming mass. Wonderful forms crawling all over it. And they bring out the energies of all those curls and canyons. A wonderful piece, and I hope everyone looked at it zoomed, because your postwork really comes out that way. Reminds me a little of Chinese bronzes---that's far fetched, but there's something about the concentric lines and shapes that reminds me. (Ok, you've seen them a million times, but here's a link just to make the comparison. It's stretched, but still... http://igavelauctions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/CC_ShangBronze-8.jpg) (zoom makes the comparison clearer) A big undulating living primal mass of an image.
