This week's TOTW goes to Guillaume Fontaine for his stunning piece titled "Nebules." She checks a lot of, if not all, of my boxes. The picture is excellent. The piece has how he did it questions written all over it. If our international friend ever comes over to demonstrate at our symposium, I will definitely watch him. There is a lot to learn here. I'm a big fan of carving feet in my work; I can appreciate those nice and delicate feet. I encourage you to check Guillaume's photo album, he has some incredible work. Congratulations Guillaume!

Congratulations, Guillaume, on your spectacular work. Excellent selection, Emiliano.

(BTW, Emiliano, it looks like you are thinking in Spanish ... assigning gender to inanimate objects. :) )

For some reason, I decided to call Nebule a she, LOL. She is beautiful, delicate, light, with gorgeous feet. I could go on and on...
 
Nice choice Emiliano….gender is in the eyes of the beholder (or something like that)….she certainly looks great!! Outstanding, “out of the box” piece Guillaume! That carved white feature is a real beauty….your pointy feet really rock on this piece!
 
Thank you for this great honor Emiliano…Thank you all for your messages!
I should take a plane one day to come and see you instead of staying hidden behind my screen… Looking forward to reading you!
