"the church by the sea" I think that itś name (I'll look it up) about the building of a church in Barcelona. It isn't as "technical" as Follet's book though... but a good read anyways.<BR/>Stone carving has always had to me a bit of a ... sacred look. I don't know, like it is a skill learnt for years and passed on from man to man... maybe I just have the mental picture of the medieval stone masons. Great challenge and I wish you all the luck with it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-43492969493892766232009-01-30T12:19:00.000-08:002009-01-30T12:19:00.000-08:00When I see what you make out of art clay, I really...When I see what you make out of art clay, I really look forward to seeing your gargoyles!meherio68https://www.blogger.com/profile/03705914760374560271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-86157763048110291542009-01-30T09:51:00.000-08:002009-01-30T09:51:00.000-08:00Carving and sculpting is just too awesome for word...Carving and sculpting is just too awesome for words, and I truly understand the passion you have for it.
