So - I decided to come out of hibernation and start some new carving; I was given these small slabs of marble many years ago and was thinking of doing some abstract, organic forms with them. The piece on the left is half of the first block - the shape on the right is one that I carved with a cold chisel yesterday and then smoothed out with a couple of rasp files today. I'm looking forward to playing around with this over the next few weeks.............
