Carving film on Youtube

Hello everyone,

Here is the link for my first film on Youtube. It is about a block of alabaster becoming a sculpture in 100 seconds. I hope you'll enjoy it.

New sculpture: a sail in limestone

I am in the process of finishing my first commission: a sail in a beautiful limestone from Caen (Normandy, France). I have already spent around 12hours and should finish after another 3-5hours to work on the details.

The photo shows some very congested areas (the waves are too many, the lines of the sail, in the lower part are far too exagerated). I have already reduced them significantly. After a bit of thinking and work the whole lot should be more acceptable and more homogen.

The film to be broadcasted on Youtube, is going very well. The last set of pictures/film will be produced once the sculpture is completley finished and ready to be at exhibition level.
