Portland Limestone Griffin

Ian Judge — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 12:48:05 +0000

A “Griffin” commission that, after a long “roughing out” period, started to come alive, Carving the fur around the body and feathers on the wings were a laborious stage. The stone wings ring with a bell-like tone when lightly tapped emphasizing the quality of the original 800kg block. The face waited until the final stage as I wanted to ensure that I protect the beak during work. this is a fine piece and will be displayed for generations once completed.Once fixed in its final location, I waited to photograph it again as it “Settled in” with algae etc.
