MARBLE/marble in 10 Days

Well, I have procrastinated again. In 10 days I will begin sculpting a huge block of marble–and I have no idea what the subject will be.  Time to cram.

MARBLE/marble

The time is getting closer. I still haven’t any idea what I’m going to do this year at MARBLE/marble.

Expatriation?

Living as an expatriate–probably working with some combination of high-tech and art–has always been appealing. At the recent Colorado Stone Sculptor’s meet, I met an artist just back from Ajijic. This small artist-friendly community of US and Canadian expats sounds very appealling. Would love to visit.

Colorado Stone Sculptors

Just returned from the April meeting of the Colorado Stone Sculptors held at Ironton Studios in Denver.  As always, it was a great inspiration. I bought  65 pounds of Pyrophyllite (Wonderstone) for $.95/lb.

Finished!

This morning–just in time–completed the Zebra Marble desktop card holder for this evening’s gala fund raiser. This is by far the toughest stone I have ever worked! It makes My Yule Marbles seem like carving soap! All for a good cause, though.
