Since we are all going to be responding to the pieces we are given and the elements that have already been added to it, it occurred to me that the way each piece evolves will depend on who gets each piece and when. There are hundreds of variations based on the exchange order etc.

I thought it would be fun to play a little game of "what if"

What would you add if you were given these elements. how would to respond?

Throw out your ideas, and comment on the others.

My first element will be a couple of small direct carve cast aluminum hemispheressmaller):
HERE IS THE REAL THING!

But what would you do if you were next in line for those elements?

What about the notion of sending off "abbreviated" pieces?

Not quite finishing the sculpture as you might have intended, but leaving it a bit unfinished in one or more areas that require subsequent recipients to "tie up" your loose end in their own way before chiming in with their own addition(s).

If done right, that is the while idea of this project, only we do that seven times.

I am still seeing too many pieces that are too "done" to begin with. We have to leave some room for addition or the pices won't work very well.

I'm glad to see you confirm this: I was looking at work posted from other groups that looked very done, so I was concerned about the overall concept.
