    I know that most people who see this beautiful vase will never pick it up and turn it over, but I was really impressed with the way that the bottom of it turned out. There's a symmetry with the way it all flows together from the bottom up that you just don't see in a lot of castings.

    THAT is a VERY NICE Vase! 🎉
    I think your auctioning some pieces is a great idea. Of course allowing for your base starting price to cover your costs. You might want to consider making a percentage of proceeds on an auctioned piece to a charity. Or occasionally make the proceeds of an entire piece that supports a charity. Maybe at the 100,000 member point

    When I was a little girl we had friends who had sweet gum trees on their property. At Christmas time we would gather the pods and decorate them for ornaments.
    Your vase brings back those sweet memories. Maybe that's why I think the vase looks "Christmasey". It's truly gorgeous!

    This is a magnificent vase - congratulations. I haven't commented on your channel for a while, although I don't believe I've missed a single episode (if that's the right term). This is because I've taken to watching you on TV, which saves my tablet's battery. I usually remember to leave a 'like' on my tablet though. I hope this doesn't mess up your algorithms - but if few people do this, I guess it doesn't matter.

    How freaking cool is this!? I am a HUGE fan of EVERYTHING going on here! The shape is really powerful and the colors are wonderful, the wood is beautiful and the green within it? Perfect! It reminds me of old Japanese design! I love when you work with the little pods and walnut shells, what fun textural elements!
    Good job on 95k! 100k, here you come!

    Ooh, the prickerballs again! The bane of my childhood. You have to rake twice a year- leaves in the fall, seed balls in the spring. It’s cool that you can turn that into something so beautiful. Sweet gums are actually quite nice looking trees that grow very tall and straight, and they’re stunning in the fall. But damn, they are a lot of work.
    (Since you mentioned it, as far as I know the prickerballs are all pretty much the same size. And I grew up in a forest of sweet gums, so I do know!)

    As an Aussie, my heart is very much with everyone currently affected by the forest fires in Canada. Certainly in my lifetime our bushfires have gotten significantly worse, and seeing more and more from North America hit the international news is rather heartbreaking. I hope you and your family continue to stay safe Jim.
    I think eBay auctions would definitely be a fun thing to try, even if they were out of my price range I would enjoy watching the bidding and seeing the final winning price!

    The artists emphasize that the works are art when they carry a part of the soul of the artist who made it because that's how it excites whoever contemplates, and the rest is craftsmanship. Working using the imagination to produce a work that moves to any extent whoever observes and contemplates it is, from my point of view, art. And I think that the beauty of that work is included in the art.🤩🤩💖

    Wow I love it. Amazing the wide range of beautiful pieces that are made with resin ,wood and tree droppings so to speak. We had 2 tall trees in the front of our house when we were kids that had those pods drop off our trees . Yes they were very painful if u stepped on them with bare feet.
