    Hello, I've been carving for three years: "du calcaire" (I'm french), marble from Carrare, a bit of granite but it's particular... I miss the stone. Maynlely i'm a painter. I just stop my work at about 23 years,doing nothing, for the gallery system appears like a crap for me after Art school in Beaux arts de Paris, drinking to, now i'm 47. I try to go back in the work, even if sometimes i don't want to make stuff in such a world, but anyway... There's no age to come on through. Tank's for the reach. All the best.

    Jesus healed my emotional hurt through Ma'am' story. Especially with 3:27 context. I love John 3:27 💓 I have two dialects, two - three accents mixed speech. Stammering with Lot healed speech in The Good Lord's blood. I prayed for healing.

    can relate, i love carving when i was a child and good at it.. I was an odd ball and love the corner that no one visits. But I choose the highway (bec. of ignorance and pussy) and become a software developer....................... it sucks!!.. I should have pursue carving/painting and become a recluse..life would have been a bliss
