Starflower emerging from Lillypad, a garden piece...:-)


Here is the Stalk that appears on one side showing a long furl that has two miniature sepals produced sometime in 4 september. The look of this structure is something produced that is there to show an extra structure that rises of its own accord, something other than the stalk that lifts to be attached to the Petals on the most top part of the structure.


A better picture of it showing the base and the beginning stages on the right hand side of the other manifestations to yet arrive out of it.


The sepals and how they appear on the side of the structure sideways. The same stalk rising (excuse me to attach itself to the petals above, I did so however on earlier notation it didn't how very wrong hahaha).
I like it looking defined later I create more depth and I also allow myself atleast a couple of centimetres of full depth into the surrounding rock from the stalk to create a black cavity that shows the stalk almost life like if it can be deemed this way.


Below a sideways pose of the structure showing the artistic viewpoint of where the starflowers will emerge below the sandstone looking rock that has been scored.


Here is another angled shot of a clockwise 30 degree shot that has a picture of petals that really do need to be more pronounced, again I need to realise that this is just the beginning of this part to be more pronounced, it will be, I was made aware of some exciting discoveries today, that telling people about this blog, gave me enthusiasm to slightly move off into tangent and explain that wonderful feeling that blogs give one, a magnificent surge into a realm that almost encompasses a demiworld, where we have controlled supposedly of our own world. But still it isnt entirely true, computers are programmed, computers that hold programs with capabilities that allow functions of users on blogs to manifest certain ideas, to utilise certain templates to allow one freedom of a blog, of describing their world, their do still have to realise that the limitations are forever in the hands of those that are the most capable blogger and programmer who can aspire in ways to make theirs much more appealing. However, even when this is the case, I don't lose sleep, finding that like a room that has a sufficient amount of bumpf, the feng shui of the blogspot is appealing, that allows spaces for the eye to relax, as well as lettering, pictures, films, and comments to let the user be the participant in their feast of entertainment. Rather a lot to attach to a specified picture above, of which I heartily apologise to the viewer for the interruption in moving to a great realm of tangency. Blah, Blah, blah.

This is a fine picture showing the full on view of the petal head, which is mostly scratched out with ruffler and small 4 mm chisel on the underside. The idea to begin with was merely to allow myself one large rounded circumference of petal that was entirely on its own with separate petal parts, the task then became furthermore a greater task.... However the burden of being involved in this, didn't discourage me, it was as I stated to my friend and buddhist chanter Richard a good energy flow to allow oneself to overcome the barriers required to chip and change an irregular rock. An irregular with no purpose but to lie there in the ground waiting for some Zimbabweans to use their rock hammers and dig them out, to pile them up and to take them to their destination. Whereby, humble me, purchased this particular one and hey presto, something interesting groovily came to me and was witnessed here.

 The picture above shows the side of the stone having been chiseled with a 1.2 cm chisel, the type that is the second largest from the smallest one available, the 5mm one I mean!! So here I am showing that the rock will look much more natural if made round on this occasion. I have also decided that some work was going to be done on the side that lacks a certain patter that makes up the floral stalk on the fourth side that is left abandoned so to speak until now. I was pleased to start doing work on it again.
 Here is a landscape photo, that has been turned round in the photographic program I use and made to show an angled sculpture that has much more defined stalks, much more holed out, rounded stalks at the bottom of the stalk, these holes like most of the other parts of the deepened recesses surrounding anything that stands out needs to be made quite deepened due to the need to show that there is a great emergence of the flower and the plant parts that come out of the rock, that exude from it...
 Here again the flash blasts all over the rock, but the look here is meant to show more ruffler work around the sepal that curls round as you see part of the rock is not blinded with light you can trace the sepal following down from the petal area, that also had more work done on it. The ruffler work slowly got to getting rid of difficult areas, that were too time consuming with a chisel, or could do the job quicker. So I was very pleased with the wise choice made here.
Here is a good look of me chiselling the rock on the side that is left bare. I have just thought perhaps I could do something with the base for instance make a flower pattern below the sculpture to suggest the sculpture has a hidden pattern to it, that is somehow emitting a puzzle piece of the artwork that reminds one that artists are crafty, in creating puzzles for their audience. Or rather keeping them geussing with little intricate parts in them, to make the viewer or audience ''lean in'' or oggle the piece with some curiousity. That is definitely a good idea. Although in this case, it is just that some people will look at 5 sides and not recognise the 6 as having anything there until the pick up the stone, to perhaps buy it, sometime in the future....
