Description
Yes, I know it's fantastically blurry, but it'll do.
This is the only stone sculpture I've ever done, 5 years ago in my high school Pre-AP Art class, senior year.
It's not great, but I'm still pretty proud of it.
I had a BLAST making it. 
It's obviously unfinished, due to time constraints at the time (it was the end of the semester), I had to wax it and turn it in as is for a grade. I still got the highest mark in the class for it. I am win. 
I'd like to give stone sculpting another try one of these days, but it's expensive...
Maybe after I win the lotto. 
I don't remember what kind of stone it is... But I remember being the only person in the class to end up with a stone of such a pretty color. Everyone else's was a dull gray, or sickly green, or icky brown...
Lucky me.

I have honestly never heard of stone sculptuting. o.O;; But it does sound rather hard. xDD; And of course you would have picked out the prettiest rock! Sheesh, weird people and not wanting pretty things.. ¬¬;;;

Really? That's odd... It's not difficult, just time consuming.
The cool thing about picking out our rocks was at first, they were all in a big box, and completely dusty, so they all looked the same. I didn't really even know the true color of the thing until I washed off all the dust after I was finished with the project, prior to waxing.

Thats the hard thing about rocks.. You never know for sure how pretty they are until you polish them up.

At first glace, I thought it was a human heart. D:
That's so cute, though! Stone sculpting sounds hard.

From what I remember, it's not too bad. It's just a very slow process. The interesting thing about it was, you don't go into it thinking "I'm gonna carve this rock into ____."
You look at the rock's shape, and imagine what it looks like, then bring that something out of the rock.
My rock looked vaguely like a rabbit, so that's what I carved.
