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,

Dan is still working on a few adjustments to the dremel setup I use, but you cant keep a good woman down.....
Here is a piece of South Park petrified wood. As soon as it was cut it looked like a guitar. There is still alot of work to go, but I have been roughing in the shape. Mostly on the neck of the guitar and the backside where there is a hole Im trying to work out. It was almost 4" long, but I have since shortened the body of the guitar. Not sure the exact shape yet but time will tell the more I work it. The whole neck is translucent when held up to the light. Dont know what I was thinking. There will need to be some pretty tiny details in this one to look like a guitar. Plus, the diamond wheels I have been roughing it on are only 1 1/2" wide, with only 3/8" between the wheels. One slip and it could cost me the piece, so I moved onto the flex shaft dremel water drip setup. More updates coming soon.......When I decide what body shape to give it. I havent been carving and sculpting very long, so be patient with me please, but If anyone has any questions about any of the processes just ask. It's much better to learn together. I would love to have feedback and suggestions If anyone has any. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Just knowing what its going to take to finish it detailed makes me think I need to keep on practicing on other projects first. After all, practice makes perfect right? -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
