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,

WOW Denise you sure got some patients to cut that much hard agate by hand. I have been working some with my flexshaft. The agate it seems is twice as hard as the softer stuff. From the little time that I have been using the diamond burrs and pads I can tell you it aint easy. My poor fingers go to cramping after awhile.
The thing that I have yet to figure out is how you manage to polish in such tight areas. I have gotten where I can carve or shape but how the heck do ya polish those tight spots? I'd be real interested to see the tools that you use. |
