Going deeper
Balancing Act
Worm Castings
And that is Michael’s “piggy” at right in the first photo! My piece is not finished, but the power tool speeded up the progress of getting some depth in that very very hard corner. Still considering how much variation in finish level and finish texture I want to keep … but it is all about having fun, and it is fun! I will have a very sore hand and wrist, and more tonight though…

Gold Rope II
FIrst image is the original pastel, still in progress. Following images are foils of this draft and two variations based on the first early draft of this piece. I generally prefer the foils of early, simpler drafts; by the time the original work is fully realized and satisfying in itself, the digital foil will likely be much too busy to be pleasing.

Mrs. Scarab Beetle
About 3 inches long, very soft fractured alabaster: fragile! But fun … for this Egyptian born UK citizen. Story:
Mrs. Scarab Beetle is a guardian figure from my place of birth: Alexandria, Egypt. She offers comfort, but is very fragile so must of course be cared for most tenderly, like all good things.
