That is so cool! I love sculptures like that
Being put back in the larger piece makes it look a little like that was his cave too! ^.^

Thank you very much for the comment ^^ Only my second carving in stone, and I am loving the work so much as I improve.

Only your second?!? That's absolutely amazing ^_________^ I've always wanted to try carving, but I've never had the means or time. It's awesome that you've found that you enjoy it so much!

Thanks for the watch and the fav. :) If you are curious, you might try something simple. Carving from soapstone is fairly easy, and only requires some basic tools. Most art supply stores carry some pieces of stone, and for the carving aspect, basic files, rasps, and a hacksaw work very well. I have a medium sized rat-tail file, a hand hacksaw, and a rasp like the left one: http://www.woodcraft.com/images/family/web278.jpg The stone is very soft and can break/chip easily if dropped, so just use caution in your work. If you get the chance, I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have too :)

hex Silverfox, can I buy these cute soapstone polarbear?

oh shit, i've seen, that it's not possible, cause ist's from 2008
sorry, for the post

It's all good :) I'm glad to hear that you like it though. I haven't had the time to carve anything lately but I really want to get back into it soon ^^
