Sculpt 2.0

A lot of the things that we've been discussing in office off late are finally turning into a reality. I'll talk more about this in the upcoming posts but one of the endeavours that has transformed from conversation to action is the idea of sculpting.

Nikhil started off today with a few sketches of a Ganesh sculpture. But before any of these could be set in stone (literally), Sai suggested that he try out the same as a prototype in soap. He started off with a simple bar of soap with just a cutter and a plastic spoon as his tools. Through the day we saw the progress. 

When he first showed us what he had made, it looked amazing from the front (much like his sketches) but the side profile didn't do it justice. 

As he kept working on it, the whole thing came together as a true sculpture, resolved in all 3 dimensions. We're all waiting to see what this would look like in stone!
