I can't work with wax, yet I can with silver sheet - how is that even right? I would save so much time and funds if I were to get things cast - and do more than one!

here is, as per title, a baby giraffe taking a snooze.

I have included my original sketch, original outline cut with a 3/0 blade, then a bit of texturing for depth and marking out lines. The metal was cut into with found and flat gravers. To finish I have used liver of sulphur for that illusion of the golden sandy colour. I really must remember to put something on my fingers when using gravers for an extended amount of time to avoid getting blisters - and of course relax my grip a bit more.

this has been posted on FB - but some peeps don't visit there.
