Working title: "Windows to the Soul"
|
Ooops... not a good start!! This chunk fell off unexpectedly while roughing out. Back to the drawing board...!!! (Note I wear steel capped boots when working with stone but not necessarily when taking pictures) |
Design rapidly revised. Note the small drill hole on the left which marks the beginning of the boring through process. |
|
The excavation progresses. The unworked yellow section is where the big piece fell off clearly showing the flaw |
Final shaped work
Refining shapes and textures. A second major flaw in the stone emerged. Fortunaley it can be worked around but limits what can be done with this piece |
|
Semi-final prior to final sanding with the striated yellow colour starting to emerge. |
The piece was then washed down with water which gives some idea of what the final polished stone will look like |
