Re: basalt and granite carving clips

If you go down to the woods today you'll be sure of a big surprise - FLYING CHAINSAWS!!! Better duck!
But seriously, the Shadow Carver film (will watch others later) was really technically instructive - I've
only used plugs and feathers method for straight lines so seeing this sophisticated method for removing a
hollow so efficiently and so well presented was a real eye opener. And the finished piece was subtly
satisfying in how it sits (and is sat on) in the landscape. Thank you very much for this.
Nigel.

Re: Hotmail question

Anyone know how I can get Hotmail to not insert > marks in front of the received message when I reply??

Stone list doesn't allow it so it is a Pain!

goodbye workshop

Hello all
I have had an interesting couple of weeks (putting it mildly).  Having run
out of money, with no commissions or sales on the horizon I have had to make
some fundamental choices about how I continue.  With two children and a
mortgage my first priority is to provide for my family and it was with this
in mind that I have closed my workshop and am no longer sculpting full time.
 It's a mixed blessing because now I feel totally free of constraints and
will continue to sculpt without any of the pressures of having to pander to
results focused output.  It wont matter a bit what I now produce and that
provides a real sense of freedom - not that I am looking for any radical
change to my thoughts and processes (but it's a small consolation that I
keep telling myself)

After making space at home I have been able to get over the loss of my
workshop space.  I am cutting back on the tools I use and will revisit a
slower pace of mallet and chisel.  My lifting crane has been sold and all
stone reduced to a manageable size (I still need two people to lift most
pieces though).

Not sure what the future holds and not yet fully re-adjusted to my new sense
of place, worth, self or identity.  Not so much a crisis and an evolution. I
intend to plan for a re-emergence in a few years time.

I am not going away.

regards

Daniel

Re: goodbye workshop

Daniel,

What a big and hard decision!

You are a sculptor and will always be!

I see what you are going through as I know how difficult it is to make a 
living out of sculpting!

I wish you the best!
