"Pretty In Pink"

"Pretty In Pink"

This is my latest acorn cap piece. This one is a little under 6" tall and about 5" or so in diameter and about 1/8" thick and very translucent with a live oak burl rim cast in the same resin. This is another commission piece that I just finished. It is for a pretty well known 2D artist. Her son saw my work and ask If I would make a piece for her upcoming birthday. I had only one request and that was to make it pink. I like pink but tend to favor darker salmon or coral pinks so I made it a little darker. It changes color depending on the angle you look at it. It will go from the red to a dark pink. Kind of cool to play with. The inspiration for the shape was a stemless brandy snifter that I saw. I found the shape to be very pleasing to my eye, but wanted to close down the opening a little bit. This is a glass smooth CA finish. It was hard to keep the glare down for the photograph. This one really looks better in person.

I like the shape and proportions of the piece but as always comments welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Alan
