well, even with no sleep and a splitting headache, carving at the stoneyard yesterday was a big success.i finally made headway on the japanese alabaster sculpture. no wonder i could not motivate myself to touch it these last few days...there was a crack i had to address before making a move that would have destroyed the whole thing! all that work for nothing then...phew! the weather was perfect! 73 degrees and no smoke from the s.b. fires...very lucky for us. breathing in stone dust is quite enough... my nose is whistling today big time. i am so bummed-my $50. burr is busted! i am so hard on my tools...downright uncivilized. 'j' had to keep stopping me to rest a bit inbetween otherwise i would just keep carving for hours straight. good to have people around me sometimes. especially other stone carvers! have to go do my 'other' work now...how i would so love to pick up where i left off from yesterday...the stones are talking to me.
took t-dog to the beach with luigi and saw a serious 100 dolphins! babies jumping straight out of the ocean! bigger ones zigzagging and racing and surfing the waves! the entire walk was a dolphin show at the races! amazing to live in the 'bu'....everyday full of beauty.
