How to model something like this?

Is that the whole image, not modified? Because it seems a surface halts abruptly where the loop crosses. Maybe I am not seeing it correctly?

Yes,the pic is a little bit strange but you can understand how this shaped ,right?I don't need a detail model of it I just wanna know the idea of modeling it.

You could maybe try Spiralizer, then import the resulting mesh and further edit it in SU

The [CASF]FunShapes.rb [ http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=59 ] has a 'horn' option so it makes this kind of thing, you can then rotate/move/erase/add/adjust as needed...

handlez, I made a quick video but can't upload until after lunch... stay tuned.
I used all native tools, no plugins... well until the end when I subdivided it to make it much smoother

Masterful!!! I was hoping that the solution to my organic form might use the "Follow Me" tool but looks like I'll have to model it from scratch, as you've demonstrated. After all it only took you 8 minutes. Thank you for that demonstration.
