Step 1:
I start by chiseling into the granite and outline of what my mind sees. |
|
Step 2:
Carefully, I chisel with a carbide tip chisel and pneumatic hammer a rough outline. |
|
|
Step 3:
Now I use diamond blades and many different chisel tips, but still maintaining an image of the Blessed Mother in my minds eye. |
|
Step 4:
Almost there, but not yet! I still need to hand polish the background, so that she appears to be emerging from the granite face headstone |
