Cross-eyed Frieda and her girl-friends

Post by Walle »

Comrades!

"Pipe" has a female gender in German, so I thought "Frieda" would match this one:

Aside from being cross-eyed she looks a bit shy and timid. But that´s only from the bottom. From the top she appears quite aggressive:

But: She´s just another ordinary wartfish as you can see from this angle:

Image

Well: I´ve been making a couple of grey ones for a while, cause I think this colour´s just perfect. Among those is a new shape which I called "Theophanu":

And right behind this one being the first of the bunch in the background you can spot the third girl: "Penelope".
Anyone turned on?

Cheerio!

I don't think I can call myself turned on (especially by a pipe whose name means 'appearance of god'), but yours are always a pleasure to behold.
On land, at sea, at home, abroad,
I smoke my pipe and worship God.

Hey Walle,
Frida associates me very strong with some of the German and northern Scandinavian viking tribes and their carvings on ships and some other ornamental work like on golden jewelery.It has a strong ancient Nordic appearance, to me that is.

Theophanu associates me absolutely to the great Byzantine empire and the strong architectural and artistic style born from the constant movement of the Orient and Occident pointing always its creative focus on ancient Hella .
Marvelous work!

And Penelope is faithfully waiting in the background until her time comes.

Cheerio
Abi

I like them one at a time, but in a gang, they frighten me.
