Is hard to imaging you having ,sometimes, the same problems I do(starting stuff or finishing it), because your work looks so disciplined, Is good to know you are human, don't worry, you will finish everything for sure! sometimes we just need to do something else to re charge,and come back stronger,best wishes!!

Thanks Clarita. Youre right on all accounts; a bit of a break has done the world of good and its time to find that self-discipline again (not easy; VERY human!haha)
*Im afraid the 'start-sickness' is still with me too..

Thanks BenZ and Robin; two fine and understanding comrades!

Jen: Butt seriously.. :wink:


Managed to keep the 'sickness' at bay just long enough on Monday morning to do some actual work, on an actual piece, that was actually already started.. which is just the sort of thing I should be doing - actually.
Yep, two mouths. Good day.

*..and than the sickness overtook me again! Started a new piece. couldnt help it.. aarrrgh!! sob! whats wrong with me..??? :cry: :lol: :wink:


ok. So she's another made from a naturally shaped pebble (probably more of a cobble). Not the greatest colour in the world but a very cool shape & proportionately perhaps the thickest Ive carved.




I have tried to retain as much of the natural surface as I can, and at she stands, all the 'skin' on the lips, head, nose, hands, elbows/arms and most of the back is still unaltered. My initial plan was to leave the back au natural, but the more I look and turn her round, the more I want to exploit this extra depth and push/arch her back in... (and give her a decent butt, but. She-butts ok Jen?)

What can I say? Im a sick man. She'll either get tossed on the pile or finished soon.. :cry: :D
