The Maquette


ma·quette  (m-kt)
n.
A usually small model of an intended work, such as a sculpture or piece of architecture.


Here is the final design - The Maquette
 I have truly enjoyed making this as I have had an image of something similar in my mind's eye for quite awhile and it has been wanting to come out. 

From this "maquette" I can see how I could achieve a similar design much, much easier. I can see where the lines could flow better and achieve a better result. I also see how the open "negative" spaces create
a pleasing design as well.

I feel as though I went "around the world" to get some parts of the design to happen but then that is the creative process.
I have to say all of it has been a very valuable journey as I know more of where I want to go and more of how to achieve a look I have been wanting to create.

This is my prototype or Maquette for future creations

    1. Shirley you are welcome. That is exactly why I shared the different stages in this design. I know some people really enjoy seeing the evolvement of an item so I wanted to show how my creations take shape. I am especially glad you feel you learnt something from this. It is easy to show people your final completed piece but I think showing the stages as they happen helps others.
      Many thanks for your comments
      Cheers....Patrick
