Stone Carving weekend






We hosted the Back Yard Stone Carvers and an intensive 3.5 days of carving at our home over a long weekend. Here is the result of the assignment, find a found object, no larger then a 50 cent piece, add a component to it, either organic if it is an inorganic piece,or inorganic if it is an organic piece (made out of clay). Then each student produced something, received the instructor's okay, and set it on a table. Students drew numbers and then selected the piece they wanted to complete. I choose an acorn cap with a spiral. I chose dendritic stone and Brazilian soap stone to complete the work. The piece is about 2.5" tall by 2.5" wide by 2" deep.

Fell behind in blog reading, Ann. Looks like you had a great time at the stone carving event. We are currently on a road trip in Maine (our first time here) to follow the fall colors. We're blogging about the trip if you want to stop in for a visit :-)
