| The crayon marks show the areas I need to remove or define. The marks are for the view from the front. |
 |
| How these marks look from each side the lions right... |
 |
| The lions left. I need to drop the eyes further back but I will establish the eyes from the front first. |
 |
| The lion roughed in. |
 |
| I want to angle the paw outward and make a note to myself on the stone. This will entail not only angling out the lower leg, I will have to move the knee out as well by removing stone from inside the leg. |
 |
| I begin defining areas while I am still a bit high and off the form of the final sculpture. That way I can see if I like the way it looks before I commit to it. By carving one area (head, leg, etc.) only partially then moving on to another area I can come back to the first with "fresh eyes" and be able to correct mistakes and make a better piece (hopefully). |
 |
| At the top of the rock I have made a cut where I will angle the stone back so that rain water will drain to the back of the stone. |
 |
| This is the back view of the sculpture after I have cut down the top of the stone and beveled the top on both the side and back. I will then cut down the other side of the sculpture. |
 |
| This is a view of the top of the back of the sculpture. I need to steepen the slope and bevel the edges. |

| This is Denny Crum competing in a fly casting competition at Cabela's Sporting Goods in Louisville KY. The local chapter of the Trout Unlimited hosted the competition. There are 5 hoops in the parking lot which you have to aim for, you have to cast to each one twice. I was in the competition myself, though I have fished for years it had been a while since I have cast a lure so I was way off the targets... |

| This is a multicolored window covering as seen through a metal architects rule (triangular ruler). |
