I’ve already re-attached the broken piece with a transparent epoxy… I haven’t gotten back to carving it yet, but I think the fix will be invisible once it’s done. We’ll see..

Coming along nicely. 🍂

This piece won’t really come together until the very end though- sanding the ripples to round the edges and the water surface to a high polish, the veins of the leaves, their curvature and how their edges affect the “water’s” surface tension… I’m also considering whether I’ll add gold and copper leaf to the leaves or maybe even use paint to make them even more realistic… still a lot left to do.

Having a lot of fun with this piece and I’ve only just started. I can already tell this is going to turn out really special.

If you’re just seeing this for the first time… the idea here is to carve the surface of a pond, a ripple in the water with floating leaves. 🍂 https://video.nostr.build/1283a9bb0850bf890467879b0421534acda1ca2ee2db0f87538d571cc20e7948.mp4

This is going to be a fun challenge 🍂

I want to capture the surface of a pond, autumn leaves floating, a ripple of water spreading out…

After completing the small aspen leaf carving I wanted to do more leaves… and I’ve always wanted to try carving a ripple of water. I’ve seen it done before and it looks deceptively simple.

Making progress but still a ways to go. Pretty much everything besides the tip of the nose needs to get carved deeper. And obviously with more detail/precision.

This tile was maybe a little over an inch thick to start, which makes this difficult. I need to create the illusion of more depth than there actually is..

For anyone interested… I’m posting a lot more video content of my stone carving and lettering to a new instagram account.👇

First time carving in a more calligraphic style. Still font based. I’d like to learn calligraphy eventually. But I think it turned out pretty well nonetheless.

Thoughts?

When I find myself in times of trouble…
