Stone adjusting to its new surroundings
Last week a delivery of stone arrived and it was so cold and still snowing here, that I left it sitting.
Today is such a pleasure unpacking, removing the wrapping and straps, letting it breathe and showing the blocks their new surroundings.
I really appreciate when the quarry has taken the time to send my stone stacked and packaged with care for its journey. The stone pieces had cardboard corner protectors, and battons between each block so they all arrived in pristine condition. A pallet full of beautiful stone. Thankyou McKeon Stone.

are each of these blocks for one sculpture or will you break up the larger blocks?
Each block will be used for an individual sculpture – I’m not breaking up the blocks (except for taking away where needed for the carving), so this lump is quite a size for me!
