I got terribly messy with this one, he's made from a sort of stone clay that i've added powdered granite dust, that glitters like real granite, and really took some mixing in!
This makes me feel... Is that enough to say? I love to have people react to my work. I hope this comment gives you satisfaction, I'm sorry that I can't describe what it is I feel, but it does make me feel. Strange aren't I?

I take all my pictures with a digital camera, never without a tripod, this helps with any camera shake!
Great embodiment of your concept, turning bas-relief and printed images into 3-d sculpture!
Artist Reply: Thank you Noah, Back in 1998,a lovely lady from Birmingham,Alabama, purchased several of my works from a exhibition I had in St Ives,Cornwall, Uk,
One of the comments she left was`Great embodiment of your concepts' How weird is that!
cathy, where do you take your sculpture classes...it's awesome
Artist Reply: Hi there Naomi, Some of the Celtic designs are adaptations from designs that are hundreds of years old, found carved into ancient and hardly recognisable slab stones and in ancient holy manuscripts, I just got the idea that I would like to turn them into a recogniseable three dimensional form, that one could hold and touch!
I havent had any classes, but I do have a understanding with wood, a good way to start maybe with soapstone(talc) it is very soft to carve into and produces some great results.
Thanks Naomi.
