I'm working on a lovely piece of green soapstone. It started out as a mass of elvers (young eels), but when I realised how small elvers are in real life - rather like live spaghetti, but actually even smaller - I changed my mind and these will now be transformed into young snakes!
The carvings below are still at the 'elver' stage, but I've since been shaping the heads into something more snake-like.
