I worked on this stone over the course of the last 2 summers in my free time. The stone is Green Alabaster from Italy. This stone finished weighs about 60 lbs. I used any type of tool necessary to do this creation. Chisels and Hammer Stone cutting tools and shapers. Dremel Grinding tools Lots of sandpaper wet sanding) Linseed oil Polishing Compound Finally several coats of wax.
Yes, seems like it would be cool to do.
She had a special talent and lots of sculpting tools.
