I have finished carving the block of limestone. I really enjoyed it. Here he is, sitting on a tin.
What do you think?
He is one of the flint knappers that lived here 2,000 years ago. I keep turning up his leftovers ever time I dig the garden.
He has a really risky earring, so when the wonderful bricklayer rebuilds the arch, Frisco will be recessed into the bricks so he is coming out through the wall and protected from the elements. I have rung the stone suppliers to ask what I can do about protecting him from pollution because we now live on a busy main road. It wasn’t when we moved in but it is now.
Frisco is going to sit on the table while I make his hand, grasping a brick. I am going to make the fingers with Milliput, the two part epoxy resin which is referenced elsewhere in the blog. I’ll show you that when I’ve done it.
