I figured that this should just have its own post. I haven't really had much time to focus on the toy yet because I've been focused on my production piece but I am planning on making a top. Tops have always been one of my favorite toys. I've been considering creating a top that has an open, well top section creating something like a vessel and filling it with dirt and grass seed. It'd still be a functioning toy, it'd also be very interesting to look at once the grass starts growing and it goes along perfectly with my theme the influence of time. My biggest concern right now is how to get the top to a decent enough point where it will spin.
I still need to do the samples of the texture and patinas to go along with this project, but I'm leaning towards using either the ammonia or vinegar patina. I love the colors you can achieve with them and depending what kind of texture I could achieve I was thinking of maybe portraying a root system around the outside of the top.
