I am really enjoying this. My arm is also getting very tired.Changing design directions midstream seems to have fuelled a creative burst and a sense of elation almost.
This stone, while somewhat harder than the alabaster most are using in the class, is very well behaved and homogeneous. Very nice to work with.
I've arrived at a design. The figures will be joined together at the arm in a heart-shaped area that will be polished and gloss black in the end. The faces will be similarly polished ovals. The rest will be textured.
By the end of the first day, I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey -- anxious to return in the morning.
