Dumortierite
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2017 5:22 am
I decided to challenge myself to see if I could get a carving done in 3 or 4 hours. I didn't quite make it. I got it done in 5 hours.
I picked up some Dumortierite trimmings from someone that was making spheres. So I have a quart size baggies of these. I've not worked with this before. Here's the shape i started with. It's covered in dust.
Drilling didn't work very well... So I abandoned my original plan and just started working the stone.
And here's what I ended up with. May I present to you, Blue Fairy.
