Yes, it's smoked/brown acrylic. Thought it would give me the closest colour to Ruby Black without going too red or too black.

It's a great sculpture, and the 'slices' are well proportioned and spaced out perfectly. Quite tactile too, as I'm finding myself absent-mindedly running my hand over the curves :oops:

I've found it very difficult to get a good photo of it, as the light I can see through it with my eyes doesn't show up well/at all on camera.

Have also got to get rid of all those little bits of dust that the camera picks up.

I like it :thumbsup: The plaque underneath looks good too. If I manage to sort a home office one day I wouldn’t mind one to mount on the wall.

Having taken a few shots of the model sent to '1536Z4' we both agreed it starts of blue then changes into purple/black depending on the various lighting conditions... Hard to capture in photos but looking good...

I agree that it's almost impossible to capture on camera what the eye picks up...I've tried a few times, and failed :headbang:

It`s looks great and as said changes colour with different lighting throughout the day . pp1600 photos are probably much better than I could provide but still don`t do it justice . You would have to do a time lapse of it as the light changes during the day to get a real appreciation . Really happy with it :thumbsup: :D :happyclap:
