Very nice little sculpture, Christy. Such good control over the accuracy of the form while keeping the spontaneity of you enjoying the clay.

Very nice, Christy:
Wind (feng in fengshui) is a vital element in Chinese words. Also, this title reminded me of "Shu", part of my name:

Christy,

I agree, you caught the spirit of the wind, and Rodin.

Such kind words for this little sculpture, thank you all very much!

WB, that's interesting. What does the sui mean? I've bookmarked your second link, very interesting! I will give it my full attention in a bit.

Shui--water, a new theme for you.

Chinese painting is loved by its watery feeling.

SB,

Fengshui-- wind-water, heaven-earth ... I like that.

Now watery images come to mind.... Maybe it will be a new theme for me. I'll have to go out tomorrow and buy clay!

I didn't understand the second link, it's written in Chinese.
