The Floating One Shit day of carving the rough feet look nothing like the feet, a lot more to remove than the hands so should have been expected. Too many interruptions today, been painful day.

The Floating One Continued with the hands, refined their forms and pushed them down to help the slender feel of them. Happy with process. Still need pushing a lot but the form is getting there, once I go over with a flat I’ll be able to see where I need to push before polishing them.…
