Pounamu update

This is my second day working on this piece of Pounamu(greenstone, NZ Jade). I have enjoyed todays progress. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

2 day stone introduction course

27th-28th July I attended an introduction to stone course held at The Learning Connexion in Taita, New Zealand. The stone is Greywacke. It fits in my palm nicely and resembles a beetle. I still need to clean up work to do and then I will polish selected areas to add contrast to the overall design. The tutor was Stephen Myhre and you can view some of his work through my links.

Old Art

I think for the next week or so I will place some of my older artwork up. Mostly paintings,pastels and stone sculpture. I hope there's something there to inspire you. Maybe I will place some of my signwriting adventures on here. I don't enjoy this sort of work but do do it every now and then.
