Serpentine "Rising"

Post by KKHK »

Remember the presumed serpentine I got in China?

Basically polished, a bit miss shapen and drilled to wear. So I asked what to do with it.

Not quite a Phoenix, but "Rising" nevertheless. In Christianity hell is a permanent inescapable state of being. In many if not most other orientations of faith, hell is something that one has to endure, but one ultimately will be released into a higher state of being. Something that unbeknown to most followers happens in Abrahamic faiths too (there is Jahannam in Islam, but once released one becomes a Jinn (sort of angel)).
In most belief-systems hell is simply a form of purification before moving on.

And basically done

Needs some more polish with toothpick to iron out remaining rough spots, but will not improve much concerning picture.

Alongside that one, its time to finish an old project for the Disdero Agate Boys. Finally it was decided to set it as is without creating an elaborate background. So just shaved off the back, and small refinements here or there. Now on to sanding and finally finishing it off.
