Set in Stone.



Each piece a delight to look at and to touch.

Each Monday morning I have gradually learnt the technique of V-incising letters in stone and the types of tools used.
So, may I present to you my final piece!

I chose to use the initials F & J, the first initials of my parents. What I love about this piece is that the F (being my fathers initial is protecting the J (my mothers) but they seem to be connected.
Without each other they are, the family are not whole, so it felt right, a full circle, a kind of yin yang!

I recommend to anyone who has been tempted to do something outside of their field, have a go, be challenged. I now want to save up and do a sculptural stone carving.... who knows what I will create!
