Expressions thru art

I started carving about four years ago as a pastime , and found it relaxing. I have created quite a few pieces, this one made out of brazilian soapstone. This stone is very easy to carve with, great for beginners since you can carve with just x-acto knives and some simple rasps. This piece I call meditation, with the figurine in a meditative pose. To polish this piece I used a soft cloth and several applications of a car past wax. If you have any questions about carving please feel free to post your questions, and I will try and help.
