"Fission" Wood and Resin abstract art creation, nuclear explosion interpretation. ArtForOUR.org
"Fission" is a wood and resin piece inspired by the stories of Openheimer and the Manhattan Project. I just finished a history book talking about the whole period of time when the discoveries of the atom and its characteristics were being discovered and understood and how it culminated in the making of the atom bomb etc. I minored in chemistry and took physics in college before med school and these subjects are incredible fascinating, terrible and amazing all at once. The power of one atom....

Mad mad genius. Bravo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
Awesome concept! You've split the atom. Now perhaps you could create fusion. Fission and fusion! I greatly appreciate you and everyone else who fights child trafficking. My prayers for the fight.
Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Great! You never cease to amaze! Keep up the good work, in art & O.U.R.!

Thank you so much! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Wow, what a cool concept! I can just imagine how it would look in different colors! Amazing work as usual
Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Incredible! Such great talent, patience and vision! Thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes view!
Thank you very much! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
Next time you revisit this, you'll have to try different sizes of wood doweling. This is such a great concept!
Thank you very much! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
That would be an interesting feature in a doctor/dentist waiting room. As it turned patients would be occupied making patterns in their minds. To support your mould use glued strips of wood along the outer sides of the mold if using a deeper pour. It should help to keep it ridged. Even with perspex there is a risk of bowing even if the mold is small.
Great ideas! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
I was waiting this project ansiously. Splendid! Make a série following this shape❤ A fan of Brazil.
Great ideas! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
@@artgivinghope 💕
That is definitely cool!!

Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Your brain has got to be tired sometimes. Wow! Cool piece Doc.
Thanks! Artforour.org
Cool piece thx for sharing Dan
Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Rất sáng tạo. Đẹp
Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
If you use something like that mold again, maybe try adding supports to the sides.
Great ideas! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
For your warped mold, what about making a square frame with wood and gluing the mold to it? That way your walls and bottom stays flat. I guess you would lose the flexibility though.
Great ideas! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Absolutely stunning! Can you please leave a link to the large silicone mold? Take care. ❤
It gave me nothing but problems. I wouldnt buy it again....www.amazon.com/dp/B0BD7VMWS5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
What an amazingly creative and interesting project!! It looks like you use the teak oil to polish the clear resin? I have never seen that done.
Yes, it really helps make it more clear...
now thats cool :)
Thanks! www.artforour.org/currentauctions
Great idea! Because of you I'm trying t learn about donating to the underground railroad. Do you have any suggestions to help? I do woodturning too.
We'd love to host your turned pieces on Artforour.org and post your videos on our channel.... here's some ideas: www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
I’m reading so many conflicting reports from an abundance of sources about OUR and the movie Sound of Freedom, which I saw last night. I don’t know what to think now. Can you share your knowledge?
I'm not sure what you've heard, but every criticism I've heard comes from a politically motivated left. Here's a good link... ourrescue.org/blog/sound-of-freedom-based-on-true-story?fbclid=IwAR30qB2zK0y-Q8jRyXB40dxasj3lmWqAtY-2JMigjmXYMtxqGJyrtRKbzA4
It reminds Me of how when You throw a stone 🪨 into a pond and how it ripples across the Water 💦 then Sink's. Very "Cool 😎"👍💯😁! Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎊 Man".
Thank you! Much appreciated. ArtForOUR.org
God Bless you for helping O U R 🙏🙏 I have followed you for a couple of years now, and have researched child sex trafficking for about 6 years now. It is a true evil that we can all do something to help. Folks just have to know it's real and there is something they can do. Again Thanks and God Bless you 🙏
Thank you very much! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
Oh my that must have driven you crackers! I must point out, three rows down, fourth block from the left, it's squiffy 😄 Still beautiful though x
Ha ha! So true. Artforour.org
Great project for a great cause! I have a really small KZhead channel (Not under this name) where I make knives and do blacksmithing. I don't know if OUR would be interested in selling my blacksmith items (or if they would be of high enough quality to draw any money for OUR). But I would be willing to make something for donation.
That would be awesome! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help
