Seems most of the sculptures Im working on right now are smaller than a quarter.
Here is an example with this California Fire Agate bee in the works. Only his right wing is showing in this picture as size example. The wings still need to be attached, so it looks a bit like this still yet. Hopefully it will improve in time, and I wont snap a wing trying to put it all together. I think Im going to forward a few of the bigger projects I have in the works, and give my fingers a break.......hehe Have to love the challenge though right? -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I have toyed and experimented with a piece of man made goldstone. It was a perfect piece to practice on.
I have found that sculpting or carving has been the easy part for me. Its polishing out the pieces that I think is difficult. I tried experimenting with tumbeling this piece out, but wasnt a good plan. The piece got stuck at the bottom of the tumbler, and it wore away all the lighter carving work I did on the backside. I felt like throwing it out the door when i saw it, but Dan wouldnt let me. When people see it in hand, they think it looks great. Guess Im just my worst critic. Im going to finish it out then decide what to do with it. Here is a picture of it, with a flashy Orange Opal for the center piece. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
