Ferns completed

ByKoen van Velzen 10-07-201312-02-2026

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!

Nasty the first message about this project.

    The corbels have been installed

    The last corbel I carved for the Eusebius Church was a representation of the evangelist Matthew: a winged man/angel. Meanwhile, the corbel stones are installed in the façade of the tower. You can see how the whitish gray Muschel limestone contrasts with the more yellowish surrounding tuff. To the first message about this restoration project (most Ettringer tuff…

    Four grotesques in Amsterdam-2

    The four ferocious heads I reported last week about are finished. Below are some pictures. Grotesque These facade ornaments were quite roughly chopped at the time, which is why I have reproduced the same chisel strokes in the copies. The heads will function as the top stones in a few window arches, underneath a stone frieze. There is an exception…

    Seven trumpet angels for Eusebius's Church in Arnhem

    Good news Maybe you remember… There was good news for the Eusebius Church in Arnhem. The Church was allocated by the Dutch National Service for Cultural Heritage 1,9 million for restoration. It is not enough for the whole Church to be restored, but we can go ahead a whole lot anyway. For me and mine…
