Sta.sh
of a samovar, the part that you'd put wood or pine cones in
Are you ethnic Russian,Persian?
A samovar is not a device that most Americans would know...
I think the Faberge simile is apt.Maybe it'll be a small jewelry box...like for pearls.
That would look especially nice on a dresser with a stone top
I like the "build first, find purpose later" approach by the way.
In my honest opinion,if one is pursuing BEAUTY and exploring pure form for that sake ,then purpose becomes an afterthought.
By your gallery it looks like you have some facility with metal yourself.
Of course, I've never been a proponent of "form is nothing without function", industrial design can be art but art doesn't have to be industrial design.
It is more or less a recent hobby of mine but I'm learning
My only point was that sometimes a form can be so beautiful,and so sublime,that it needs no function.
Or rather more to the point,the function of the piece BECOMES; something to LOOK at...
And by the way,
your reference to the samovar gave me the idea that my simple little egg container could be a device (like a tea ball) to hold herbs for steeping in tea.My latest addiction from my garden is a sun tea made from chocolate mint. This device would serve a useful function to hold all the herbs leaves together...
Hm, that should work, sure. You make it just from the mint or with tea as well?
Somehow it helps me to tolerate heat...
I'll just consider it practice for now...
