Stone Carving (Update)

Stone Carving

I've started a new project! I finished my koru and I've moved on to harakeke (as you'll see from the pictures below). I did make a mistake once, by breaking one of the harakeke flaxes because I hit it too hard with the chisel and mallet. Next time I need to learn to be more gentle. I had to make it a little smaller, but I fixed it and now I just need to soften it with sandpaper.

Stone Carving

This is an update from my last post, I have achieved a lot since last Monday (even though you didn't see it last time), and I've almost finished my first project. I just need to add some finishing touches.

(ALMOST DONE!)

This year for our Arts Festival, I'm doing stone carving with Mr Mitchell. I've almost finished my first carving (a koru), and next week I'm moving onto my second project. We work on this every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, periods one and two.

Why Should We Keep Cats Indoors?

As you can see from the picture below, cats are well known predators. They hunt rabbits, birds, rats, mice, lizards etc. I'm not sure if we should keep them inside, because they need to explore like us. But we could keep them secured in the back or front yard. And make sure they can't get out from under or over the fence.
