Ideas?

Hey everyone!

This summer I have been trying my hand at stone carving, I have been scouring the beach for bits of sandstone and taking the most likely bits home to carve with. So far my creations are an Eagle’s head and a boat, but I have been thinking about replicating some fossil that I do not have in my collection, maybe a trilobite or some sort of dinosaur tooth? What do you think I should do? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Buy yourself some soapstone to work with. It can be carved with a knife and will take a nice polish. An ammonite would make a good project for a display piece.

Yes soapstone would be great, I'll search around for some. An ammonite is a good idea, I might start by doing a practice one in sandstone. Or perhaps some sort of nautiloid?

You can try to carve a Tyrannosaur tooth :P
