Μια καρδιά ολόχρυση έρωτα να θυμίζει, μέσα από το αίμα που έφτιαξαν μόνο από ρουμπίνια και από τα φτερά που σμιλέψαν, γύρω τους με πλατίνα..

sculpt


Explanation:
Νομίζω ότι λόγω της καλλιτεχνικής φύσης της δουλειάς που περιγράφεται (το σμίλεμα των φτερών δηλαδή), το sculpt ακούγεται ταιριαστό και εύηχο.

Example sentence(s):
  • "She sculpted a life size portrait bust of Neda 'Angel of Iran' to memorialize the fallen martyr."
