Finished the Horse Head yesterday
This is about as close as I have been to a horse, I did ride one once in Costa Rica on a bar tour, that's about it. So, it isn't supposed to be realistic. Just close from pictures, stylized. I signed it in the ear, like a tatoo. Also on the right side mane I put my initials, hard to see, not in your face. Pink Alabaster, probably 40 lbs now.
I am going to do a bigger one but I want to do a fish or an Easter Island head first.

Awesome, you've come a long way since you first started tinkering with this artsy fartsy stuff.
I can't wait until the pelican you carved for me is worth enough to retire on. BTW I hate to rain on your parade but it looks like that horse has a whole bunch of cracks in it. Did you drop it or something and hafta glue it all back together?

Wow, Dean. Straight out of the Museum of Modern History. The horse, not you.

Very nice. I should buy something from you and wait until you to die for the value to go up, that's how it works, right?

But seriously , incredible work. I too am curious what types of tools you are using .

Embrace your homoerotic love for horses rather than deflecting your own feelings of negative self-worth onto this talented artist.

because of the shape of the stone I had to tip the head down quite a bit, a woman in the class with me that owns horses said it was ok, it's called "collecting" when they do that.

Wow, really nice man. I keep meaning to get back into doing some kind of art, but, well, you know. Never was much good with sculpture or carving though. Impressive.
