 Nearly done.⚒️🪬

And I was able to achieve the Mona Lisa effect with the eye, although to a more limited degree than my Guy Fawkes mask. I’ll share a video with that later..

Last step is just to add a touch of gold leaf to the iris.. https://image.nostr.build/c08cf326e666ac1885eb36f8f7937497f1ec3ef220f95785aac096b1d7657506.jpg

 Thank you.  I used a combination of hammer and chisel, rotary tools, hand files and then finally sand paper. If you check out my feed there are some Timelapse videos of this and other works of mine..

 I like the contrast of the eye being unsealed.

I like how the eye is the first thing you notice & then the hand becomes visible.

A really cool peice man 🤙

 Thank you. Ya that’s a fun thing to play with when using slate. You can get a bunch of color variations if you’re careful.  And thanks for all the zaps!🤝
