BISHOP DOYLE'S PECTORAL CROSS > WAX CARVING DAY 8 & 9

DAY 9 LION CLOSE UP
DAY 9 LION CLOSE UP
August 26, 2008

The pomegranate crown was defined after reshaping it on Monday. The lion and lamb received most of the work this day.

After finishing the wax removal stage of carving and scraping, the first evidence of adding wax shows in this photo with a little red wax around the lamb.

To add wax, I melt a little soft wax on the end of a hot tool and flow it onto the hard wax. Then I carve and shape the new area.
