How big do you think this is? That could be a lot of clay and a lot of bunching! There are 10 more shots from every angle on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/19581411\/with\/20242700261\/\" target=\"_blank\">her Flickr page<\/a> if you want to ponder the mystery with me. But either way, it came out really cool looking and the color palette of purple and icy greens was an excellent set of choices to give this an austere beauty and a bit of energy as well.<\/p>\n<p>Olga&#8217;s done this in a couple prior pieces she&#8217;s posted, but I think this is the most successful thus far, at least in the level of intrigue the application will likely inspire in any viewer.
