tiki owl

Tiki OwlWhat do you get when you start with a block of hebel stone, a box of tools, and a weekend ahead?

When you add some physical exertion, a very necessary dust mask, and some helpful instruction from an expert?

Then finish with a bit of sand paper and a splash of oxide?

Well, for one you need a really good scrub in the shower...

But you've also got yourself a chubby little tiki style owl! :D

Mr You made an awesome stylised cat face, but I don't think he'll let me show it (he's a bit hard on himself).

Anyway, we had a great weekend at the sculpture workshop. We keep talking about all the things you could do if you had more time. I think we'd definitely both love to try it again. But, all in all not bad for our first attempt.

Oh Wow! That is so cute :) Love owls, used to have a tawny frogmouth that lived in the tree outside my window when I was growing up.

wow that's amazing! When I first opened the post I saw the owl and was like 'where did she find that, I want one!' I can't believe you made it!

That is amazing... and as your FIRST try? Incredible!
I did a day class last year and loved it too. Mine was a little more 'modern'. Must do some more some time. You have inspired me!
