Another slab of Indiana limestone

[Gargoyle]

Work in progress. The stone is about 36" x 24" x 4", with 2-1/4" of relief.

Dude that's wicked nice. My old sculptor professor, Mac Hornecker (rip) did some work like that with us. He was so much fun to work with. This made me think of him and all the time and hours and hours in the studio. Thanks.

Actually, I'm getting more work done at night that during the day.

I know part of it is you choosing which pictures to upload but as usual even your first, roughest photo is of a pretty darn good looking piece.
Each one after that it just keeps getting better.

you're not only a master stone carver, you also seem quite good at hairstyling !

I have more projects going than I will ever have enough time to finish but you sure make a fellow want to try a hand at that. Beautiful work indeed!

I'll try to finish her up tonight, but tomorrow I'll probably decide I don't like the headdress and redo some things.

My ever-indulgent wife is sitting next to me so I showed her the first picture (the roughest) and she also thought it looked just about ready to put on display. Then, like me, she watched it get better, and better, and better...

We obviously don't know much about stone carving, but we darn sure like what we see!

 

[Gargoyle]

Here she is, she's done unless I start looking too closely and decide I need to do more. I'll try not to look.

Beautiful work!!
Thank you for showing the pictures of your progress.
