thanks, Workhorse. I appreciate that. "Nubian Dreamer is a personal fav of mine.
Some pieces are drawn out first.....but others just "evolve". The evolutionary approach sometimes has the feeling of "taking me for a ride".......and I love the journey as much as the destination most times. :)

Some of the assemblages are more like "flower arranging", where I've just played/forged individual pieces as if they were "stand alone sculptures" and then I grab a bunch of pieces and see where/how they "nest". Put a lil spring clamp on them.......and then "live" with them a while......IF/When I become satisfied......I weld them together. Some of the outcomes I don't think I could have designed LOL.

"Eternal Embrace" in my sculpture section is one of those that "evolved", it's only five pieces. It started it's life as the two that make up the main body...the other three pieces eventually "fell in place".

"Nurture" is one that all four pieces just nested and happened.

I'm blown away with your wax work. Beautiful...my first thought was that it was repousse'. GORGEOUS
