This
was my first attempt to realize the tree sketch in 3D and
in my favorite material, ceramic. At some point I ran out
of branches and made it so big there was no time to expand
on it. At this point it is so far removed from its tree origins
that I must resign to the common opinions that it is a claw
or a tentacle. It's still a tree to me, though.
