Eric - I like the form, like the carving... only thing that bugs me is the blunt foot. Just me.... but would have preferred a more rounded or tapered foot area. The rainbow of colors is pretty cool!!

I agree, I did not notice until too late that the foot was out of proportion.
I really like that! Especially the carved neck!
Reminds me of a tie dyed v neck shirt!
luv the carved neck!!

Eric,
I can see an entire series from this basic shape. Given the cut away gives the appearance of a collar or neck line, you could make a black and white version with a bow tie. You could create the form of shoulders, waist and hips and make a plunging reveal. Roll the rim down and increase the appearance of a collar. What fun. Good piece!

Wonderful job of carving the neckline...and coloring work too!
Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!
Love it, very nice. Carl
Very nice Eric! Love the carved neck!
