Nice ! I think there's one on Chris Colefax's site and I have one by Fabien
Mosen that fits a bottle.
Perhaps we should start a collection of wickerpov objects... Interestingly,
this is the sort of object that is pov only and that really demonstrate the
power of scripting, as it would be very difficult to do it in a GUI/mesh
modeller.
Interesting background too... Are you using your light macros, btw ?
