My father, Dave McCarl helped out with Celebration, my first WInterstone sculpture so it was important to me that he make a return appearance to help build the Princess sculpture too. My mother, Norma also pitched in as we thickened the top of the bag and built up the crown.
Without thinking much about it, I assigned my mother the task of building up the top left side of the bag. She quietly worked away then confessed that it wasn't going well and asked what she was doing wrong. I looked and saw that she was packing clay where it belonged but wasn't spreading it out properly. I tried to smooth it and instantly discovered the problem. The Princess' arm was in the way and blocked me from positioning the knife at the necessary angle. The only way I could get proper access was by kneeling on the floor and holding the knife in my left hand. Sorry Mom! Fortunately she'll still love me despite being assigned such a difficult task.
