Enlarging a design fortunately is no hocus-pocus. I made the model to a scale of 1 at 4, so it's just a matter of taking a size with compasses, and transfer that size onto the piece of stone four times . A lot of measurements later, you'll already be able to recognize the first curls of the ferns.

A sculpture like this one that I have on my hands now , means a lot of sawing. I prefer to start with a contour template, which I transfer to the stone, and “jig saw” the contour of the sculpture. After I've done that for two sides, the other two sides follow. It's pretty simple work, but for now it means a whole pile of rubble, lots of sludge, and many hard blows with the hammer. At this stage, it is all still very rough work, as you can see on the photos .
