#stonecarving — Public Fediverse posts

Dervorguilla of Galloway, who wrote the 1282 statutes & ‘did the practical work’ to establish the Oxford college named after her husband John Balliol, is commemorated in a statue unveiled last year. This article shows the interesting process as well as the outcome:

@fotofacade How to look at a porch!
This is truly delightful.

Look what I did today! An external round surface and an internal curve. There is even a flat surface carved out, if you can get your head around that.

I made two schoolboy errors. In my enthusiasm, I gouged a little too deeply and knocked off a tiny bit of internal corner. I still can't believe I did that in a day.

More to come tomorrow!

Behind the choir will be an extraordinary backdrop: a #RoodScreen made not of wood but of stone, twisting & curving to the sky. It's been dated to the 1350s. So, just after the #BlackDeath... Who would have supported innovation at such a time?

A new memorial will commemorate the ratification of a document in 1359. Unlike most paperwork, this one continues to inspire after 667 years. It was on parchment not paper, but it's the thoughts that count.
