Back at the Museum this morning, and the first task was to do a bit of faffing with the Stone Age axe; as usual, my opinion on the day’s carving altered once I had got home and studied photos, so I made a few notes and sketches and made a mental note to deal with that first. Sometimes you can get too wrapped up in something and not be able to see what should be staring you in the face; photos seem to help as they filter all distractions away and leave the important part, warts and all. I’ve done lots of carvings that seemed to me to be top drawer on the day, only to have my illusions shattered when I studied photos ~ leaving me desperate to alter the carving soon as possible so I could sleep soundly again!<\/p>\n
