Rolled Tube Sculpture on Etsy

One collection that I will be developing this year in my Etsy shop are my rolled tube sculptures. Currently, I have them offered in small hand held configurations but I want to do them in medium (11"x14") and large wall installations.

The one above graced the front page of Etsy this past September and it has really inspired me to make something of this collection.

The tubes themselves are small; approximately the size of a nickle or quarter. Some of them are as small as a dime. I have them in neutrals like above, and in minimalist white.

What colors should they be offered in?
Would you put them into definite shapes or keep them abstract?

Elements and Principals of Art: Form

Form is probably one of the more difficult elements of art to explain, and visually represent, especially in a painting.

In technical terms, form pertains to the actual physical form of objects within a body of work.

Form may be created by the forming of two or more shapes or as three-dimensional shape (cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.). It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color. Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. Examples of these are sculpture, theatre play and figurines. Form is the external appearance of a clearly defined area. {wikipedia}

How does form translate in my work? In my paintings, it really doesn't unless you consider the skyscapes

And it most definitely translates in the sculpted work that I do. From pansies and rosettes, to stones and bubbles, clay takes on a wonderful form like no other medium
