Arts Kete stone carving

Today on the 20th of November 2017 term 4

I drew the spiral on the shape of the koru so i can carve and sand paper it into my koru shape.


After carving the spiral in i start sand papering the spiral so it can look smooth and it doesn't fell rough when i run my hand in the carving.

I start sanding away to make the curve and shape i want.


The curve on the koru was a bit to long so i got my teacher to correct my mistake.

i made a few mistakes on the carving to not make it deep it wasnt deep enough next
time ill be sure to make any last edits.

Last week i started my harakiki stone carving i drew the shape of the harakiki
and then cut lines into the rock and then carved it out and used the sand paper to make it look sharp smooth and slik. 

Next stone carving session i hope to finish my stone so i can move on to the next one
