Brent Duty Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm speechless. First question are you a magician? Unbelievable! You must share the details. On a side note I visited your website and couldn't help, but to notice where you're from. I hope your loved ones are out of harms way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil White Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Somehow I missed this! Wonderful piece, Vjacheslav!! Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Woodworm Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I can't even comprehend (s/p?) the amount of thought that has to go into acheiving this not to mention the works itself. It is truly regretable that the worlds peoples cannot find more time for examples of great creations as this rather than fall into the disorder that we find ourselves in. Vjacheslav this is admireable beyond words. At least for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Novice Carver Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 So Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I realize this is an older post, but it's never too late to appreciate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Rhubarb Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 This blows my mind. I found this link, it claims there are 15 layers.. It directs you to this site as well, which has some nice stuff..: http://www.ivoryandart.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hans Meevis Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 As I understand life, this work should not be possible in the dimension we live in. Brilliant! Hans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Clive Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 As I understand life, this work should not be possible in the dimension we live in. Brilliant!Hans ??.. Hans.. this work is possible and has been executed many thousands of times in China over the last 600 years. While I in no way wish to undermine the praise lavished on this piece.. I would encourage other carvers to at least try to figure out the basic technique used in its construction. Its skillful but not magic.. unfortunately... and therefore raises the question what the purpose of the piece actually is? What type of response is it essentially designed to elicit? I think its like the difference between watching a supremely talented violinist performing and a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat.. while both have the power to entertain and amaze.. I'd suggest the former is the greater accomplishment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Rhubarb Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I would encourage other carvers to at least try to figure out the basic technique used in its construction. Its skillful but not magic.. unfortunately... That is unfortunate, because magic is the best explanation I have. I'll leave it to the pros to figure this one out! I understand though, calling it "magic" undermines the greatness of the accomplishment. But... it's also a bit of a compliment. No? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Clive Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well perhaps "magic" is an appropriate word... "magic" in the illusion sense of the word... something that gives the impression of one thing when in truth its another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Clive Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I did once go to a very fancy Chinese restaurant where the chef knocked up 4 layered balls out of carrot to decorate his dishes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James K Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 and there you have it. Exquisite! they don't call it a Master Ball for nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am new to this forum, and dont know much about carving ivory, as I am a glass carver. However, would have an idea as to how long and the technique that would have gone into this beautiful piece of work. Congratulations on being able to achieve this.
