Mystical Decorative Top with Sunflower The Story… I have long had the idea to create something special, in a mystical style ...something that would have a certain symbolic meaning, and at the same time, evoked warm bright memories from childhood… It was supposed to be some kind of decorative thing that was nice and interesting to hold in your hands, or to have as a decorative item in your interior. After some thought, my idea was formed into a Decorative Top, with magical symbols and patterns… As a basis, I decided to take the Sunflower, which in different nations has long been associated with the image of the Sun, light, prosperity, strength and well-being. Also, it is believed that it has the ability to discharge negative energy. On the other side, I made a stylized pattern similar to Thistle, which is believed to have magical powers and is able to drive evil spirits away from home. So it turned out to be a very interesting and unique thing, conceived as a decorative element of the interior …but made with the quality of jewelry. I made this sculpture in two versions: – as a decorative element of the interior, in a vintage style with a gold patina – and as a restless toy whirligig, 3D-printed from resin, with many variations of colors (which I will show in other publications) …by the way, the Top itself is a very interesting meditative object for relaxation and concentration …my cat watches it as if enchanted )))

…below is a preview of the digital 3D model that I made in ZBrush
