A rare sculptural piece

I had the base for this one sitting on a shelf for a few years and finally figured out what to do with it. Here is the result.

I installed the branch over a month ago and wasn’t pleased with the idea on what to do with it. Then early one morning solution hit me and I cut the top part of the branch shorter and put the plate with cakes on top.

A short stack of delectables reaches new heights with a pat of broken butter.

Wood, acrylic paint, tree branch

Detail of the broken butter pat made from a section of yard stick. I used my new jeweler's saw to cut the angles.

Another detail of the broken butter pat. I wanted to make it appear to be melting. I’m still in my drip stage.
