Not finishing today - Darn


Barry thought he would be done today, but such as it is, the detail work took a while and although he made much progress, the sculpture is still not done.

It's a bit time-consuming


It's important to get the details etched in properly. Detail work takes up so much time.

Sculpture Hands


One of the last details to work on - the hands.

Dumpling Night - July 31, 2011


This was a night out with everyone. We got to enjoy a wonderful meal at a nice restaurant, a dumpling restaurant. It was very good.

Front view of the Sculpture


The sculpture is basically finished as far as Barry is concerned. Now the piece, which is over 10 feet tall, will dry. Once ready for the mold, they will take a mold of it and then cast the mold in bronze. That is how the sculpture is transformed from its original version to its final finished form. Beautiful!

The Face is Complete on July 30, 2011


After two and half weeks, Barry completed the face of the sculpture. Actually, he completed the sculpture already and is just doing touch up work. Wow. He must have been working very hard.

My friend, Jallim, on the scaffolding


This is Maggie posting for Barry, who sent this picture today. Jallim is a sculptor from...hmmm, I seem to forget his home islands. Ah well, he is a fun person to hang around with, according to Barry.
