Day 3 -- Four Excedrin Geltabs...

Large view

This morning I woke up with extreme pain in my hammer arm. I'm paying the price for doing two stones instead of one. Two Excedrin and I'm good to go.

The Alabaster is frustrating after working with Chlorite. Its so soft making it easy to carve but also easy to bruise and damage. It doesn't hold a texture very well either.

In the center of this piece, look for the sailboat in full sail. The surrounding storm rises over the ocean swells at the bottom. On the left is a rough portion of raw stone -- the rocky coast threatens.

Tomorrow we sand, wax and polish...
