It’s a long haul at finishing stages and only when I blast it down with water can I see progress #stonecarving#studioday#pentelicmarble#metaxourgeio#athens#greece

Wip of this sculpture I been whittling away at. It's soapstone! #stone#soapstone#stonecarving#sculpture

A stone carving of the eye of ra, as if emerging from a rock base. It is facing the viewer

The sculpture is a triangle with a big eye on the front. The eye has a lower swoop facing the left
The same sculpture, but lying down so you can see the "face" head on. From here, the size of the eye is more clear
The same sculpture, but angled from above. From here you can see what parts of the face stick out and what parts are indented

The carver, John Bull, was quite a character. Ran away from his stonecarving apprenticeship, went to sea, joined a mutiny, came back to Rhode Island to carve some of the wildest and most experimental gravestones in New England. An artist.

As a teaser for Saturday, here's a snippet from Chapter 30, in which Lady Vaeol confronts issues of rank and class when she helps her father out with his next stonecarving project at the Blue Fey's Shrine... #pathfinder#lashunta#castrovel#rpg#ttrpg#worldbuilding#worldanvil

assemble them and when I say it’s one piece they ask how I get the undercuts so fine in marble. I don’t just have #stonecarving#PentelicMarble#metaxourgeio#athens#greece

Had another studio visit from my sculptor friend @dimiourgia_marble_workshop (Instagram) and he dropped off some more big pieces of #ThassosMarble#Marble#PureWhite#stonecarving

This piece was almost finished, went back a few processes with new tools, new tools I said I wouldn’t buy until I’d finished this project. 20 years of carving limestone doesn’t mean marble comes easy #AlwaysLearning#Stonecarving#Sculpture#Sculptor#Pentelicmarble#metaxourgeio#athens#greece
