Taking turns




The process is slowing down as I get past roughing out the shape and start to define the piece more and more. I am considering texture, final edges and curves, and mostly, setting and position. So these photos are an example of what I am considering these days.

flippin' the ....penis?


























I am thrilled with this carving process at every turn. It's really starting to develop a character of its own. As I look t it now, it has taken on quite a few distinctive features that have come as a result of the stone itself, and not from my plan or the clay model I started with. So, far all the changes have been for the better. In my opinion anyway.
