The Knotilus, first of the "20000 Leagues Under the Lather " series.

Definitely the most challenging brush I've attempted, as technical hurdles quite often mocked the virility of my imagination and will, yet I triumphed none the less!
To start, I had two candlesticks to work with.
First I made The Faberge Brush (pipe brush thread). With the spare parts I made the latest piece.
My first step after conception, is the sketch. Though there's always deviation from the initial drawing.

At first it was to be more simple, but soon took a life of its own.
