Wax Buddha

Another attempt at wax carving, aiming at a Buddha image to cast in metal. It's hard to carve this wax which is quite sticky. I am using a small craft knife and a wooden tool. A better finish seems to come using my fingersGetting closer to a lifelike image hopefully. Haven't quite worked out a good technique for the fine details on the face yet.

Creation ... Destruction ...

Creation, destruction, the perpetual cycle of existence continues
