Purple Haze

Post by Walle »

Comrades!
Just finished ... no. I just completed, rather, this one:

Except near to the end I deliberately didn´t polish the stem. I find the matt ebonite matches the somehow threatening appearance of the entire "thing" much better :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Cheerio!

Hi Walle,

Amazing :thumbsup: ... and somewhat threatening, indeed. Also amazing is Your ability to come up ever again with shapes that no one else could ever think of ...
Great work, congrats !

One of those fell off the bottom of my truck the other day. I'm not sure what it is, but now the truck makes a funny noise when I turn left.

Your truck is either Japanese crap or - even worse - American :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Very cool. Reminds me of the Jim Henson movie, Dark Crystal. Especially the skexis.

Bravo Mr. Wallenstein, it's like Jimi Hendrix reincarnate! Could serve as a pipe or weapon, very versatile! :thumbsup:

This pipe I really, really want! Specially with that color. Love it.

Not sure about the matte finish on the stem though. But of course, it does take away a lot of sanding, you lazy bum! :mrgreen:

Wow, dear dear!

Is this the requisite for the witch movie you told me you were asked to make? Very good take on that theme I'd say!

Shalom!

Walle, I didn't expect you to frighten me even more than before, but, you've gone and done it. Very scary piece.

@Walle... if i may be so free to add and maybe suggest...
this pipe remembers me on Minas Morgul (on Sindarin - Tower of Black Sorcery)... it has a certain evil look, very sharp, edgy and authoritative....

I like the idea of a matte stem. I've often thought it would look good with matte rustics and blasts, but nobody ever did it.

"Oh you don't like my pipe or the tobacco I smoke?"
"No I don't"

SMACK SMACK HIT STAB THROW BOOMERANG. Put pipe back in space age holster.

That is probably one of my favorites you've created so far. It's just and added bonus that it's purple.
