Candlestick (Curve Tool Practice)

This candlestick was created using the curve tool and the revolve function. The base, bottom swell, bottom ring, main body, top ring, candle holder, candle, and wick, were created by revolving curves. I had difficulty trying to create surfaces using other functions with the curves. Extrude, for example, would always say it required two curves to be used, and when it was used successfully it would create a big, flat, mess. I could not recall how to create planes that follow the curves, as was demonstrated in class, and searching google was a fruitless endeavor. That is why I chose a round shape, which could be completed with the revolve function.
