grape vine on Grape vine and a monster within

[Jjartwood]

This is the one that got way away from me,started with a Zen tube painted neon orange,cleared the orange then painted it black,a little 60 grit on the black and I had a pretty cool looking blank.
Then "it" started, a couple of red crystals for eyes and some white for teeth,Grape vine bark was glued to the tube and it was cast, OOOOHHHH NOOOOO,air bubbles ! No problem,I'll just turn the blank down past the bubbles and re-cast it, Then I got to thinking, what if I painted some grape vines on it;
so thinking that it might add some depth to the look,I added ( what in my world looked like ) grape vines. Put my paints and brushes away and re-cast the blank. Turned and messaged in the usual manner.
If nothing else.... It's different.
Thanks for looking
Mark
