Mis Hermosos tallados en piedra Serpentina
My Beautiful Serpentine Stone Carvings¡Hola Comunidad de Hive!
Hello Hive Community!
Today I want to show you how some of my serpentine stone carvings have been and also my progress and improvement in my carvings in general, but before that I want to give a description of what the stone or mineral of the Serpentine group is.
Según Wikipedia
According to Wikipedia
Serpentines are a group of minerals characterized by not occurring as crystals, except in the case of pseudomorphism. They are alteration products of certain magnesian silicates, especially olivine, pyroxenes and amphiboles.
¡Fue un Proceso difícil, pero aprendí rápido!
It was a difficult process but I learned quickly!
The first day I learned I used a machine that in my country we call a bench grinder, it is generally used for blacksmith work but in this case my teacher and I used it for carving, and we had to have a constant stream of water on the disc of the machine because the water serves to hydrate the stone and keep it at a good temperature so that it does not fracture and fall apart.
Ese primer día tallamos y pulimos a mano dos péndulos
That first day we carved and polished by hand two pendulums
Some time after I started carving, the machine broke down but it didn't stop me from continuing to learn and carve, because I started using my drill driver.
You have to be careful when carving the stones so as not to mark them too much or crack them and also keep a constant stream of water to avoid dust and so that the stone does not get so hot.
Everything was a manual, laborious process. However, usually, the result was worth the effort!
The pieces made with my carved stones were well received by my clients, and at the same time I sold most of them.
¡Con el tiempo fuí mejorando mi técnica!
Over time I improved my technique!
I applied various wire and filigree techniques in my carvings, I also made personalized works according to the client's taste.
It is so satisfying and rewarding when a customer leaves satisfied and happy with a piece made from scratch, that you put so much effort and dedication into.

There were so many stones and pieces that I made with them that I forgot to take pictures!
To this day I continue to improve my carvings and learn new techniques, always seeking to improve and having my unique style.
