On Holiday in Carterton, NZ

I've been staying with friends in Carterton for the last few days. I brought my piece of Greenstone thinking I had wet sanding left but lo and behold I find a mark that would be quicker to remove if I waited until I return home on Wednesday. My foredom electric carving tool will tidy it up much faster although it does leave me disappointed as I was hoping to finish it while I was away.
 I'm finding that working in hard stone has it's rewards. It teaches me patience, along with caring how the piece looks. Striving for perfection takes time and the desire for the best end result I can achieve takes careful observation.
