The sculpture is all waxed up and ready for transport. It's called 'Ferns’ and is based on a specific type of leafy ferns, that unfolds in curls .
Below a few pictures of the finished sculpture; it's just that at the end of the day only the back side was in full sunlight. Oh well, 'on the back side also live people,’ they often said if you had to finish something that really does not come into view. So here goes: a good view of the back!

Polishing is always a labour intensive chore. Especially in this sculpture; there are many corners that I just simply have to do by hand. But it's getting on nicely, just a few pieces at the top. You just can't tell by the photos because there's still a thin layer of of stone sludge over it. But when the sculpture is properly rinsed and all waxed up, then also the green color stands out better.
Ultimately, the sculpture will be laid flat again, and then I can finish and polish any tricky pieces under the curls. The veins on top of the two curls have also yet to be partly carved and finished, but below, the sculpture is ready -aside from the polishing work, that is.
