Session 9 only half day, started carving the LH side of the face
Session 10 continued carving the LH side of the face
Session 10 continued carving the LH side of the shoulder
Session 11 started carving the RH side of the face
Session 12 turned the stone around so I could better get the balance of the head shape and shape the RH shoulder
Session 13 carved the lower RH side
Session 13 looking down the stone you can see the shaping of the lower part of the stone
This is one of Judes exhibition pieces a Hare in Alabaster
I've started drawing a few ideas for the lettering this is one idea, I'm going to practice on a plaster tablet so I can get the letters styled right before carving the stone. I have got enough stone if I make a mistake, but as I have found mistakes take a long time to correct.
