Padukas finished

The black granite paduka's I previously worked on have been finished for a long time, but I have been very busy and my blog has suffered for it. Polishing was, as expected, quite a chore, but I managed.

I hope to find enough time the next few months between all the hustle and bustle to make another one.

I like it very much to be able to occasionally do this kind of meditative assignments; this is my form of yoga!

    Garden sculpture 'Pan’ in red porphyry – completed!

    My garden sculpture 'Pan’ is completed. With this sculpture I sought a connection with Nature, in the form of the Ancient Greek god Pan. I depicted him as a plump satyr on a convex column, on which reed plumes are engraved. The reed plumes refer to Pan's adventure with the nymph Syrinx and the origin of the Pan flute….
