THE FUN STARTS HERE

 After weeks of rough cutting, waiting , polishing and wet clothes, finally, the sun is out, and the more interesting but also demanding work started.

I drafted the knot design on the marble, using a brush, then finalized it with templates I prepared in London. I now have to carve octagonal shapes first , which will be carved into the ropes later. 

 








I had a good couple of good days and the work is going great, the October sun is finally back, but I had to change into my “ Guantanamo gear”, as the mornings are getting chilly here in the Appenin Mountains.
