Week 11

You probably won't be able to see any difference in the wooden head this week. I just did some very minor fine tuning and added some detailing to the chest (like the real one in the British Museum).

I'm going to stop there and just take it home and stain it. I must remember to post a picture when that is done.



The rest of this week I spent making a maquette of an idea I had for the piece of stone I picked last week.

The maquette is a very rough idea, not to scale or anything.

The main idea was to have a plinth carved in the stone and some sort of shape on top (all carved together out of the one piece of stone).

I'm not sure if the shape on top works. The idea doesn't seem to be impresssing the few people I've shown a sketch of it. Also some parts of it might be a bit hard to carve (a challenge might be a good thing though).
