Almost getting there

All ferns are now roughly blocked out, All of the curls are carved, and now I'm looking forward to cutting the openings between the ferns. Today I have been busy with carving the veins (only to be seen on full-screen!), the last two curls, the detailing of the leaves, and cutting the openings.

Nasty the first message about this project.

I 'd been waiting for it for a long time, because it was stuck. At the new Focus Film Theater. When I first asked for it, the replies were not good: the figurine…
