Description
Carved by hand. Made out of soapstone I ordered from Oregon USA.
I like the lovely green colour of the stone.
Took around one day to carve from a rectangular block and one day for sanding and polishing.
I used candle-wax for polishing. It took around 1 hour to heat up the statue on low heat and after
the wax was applied it took some 3 hours for the statue to cool down again.
The statue is 6" tall and the rectangular base is 2,2" x 2,3" and weighs 4,19 lbs.
(16,5 cm tall, 5,6 x 7 cm at the base, weight 1,9 kg.)
This is the first soapstone-project I have done in 17 years.
Done after being inspired by the work by Coppercentipede: fav.me/d73r1xn

Very good work! Since Lovecraft always suggested his Cthulhu Cult was worldwide, I've always assumed you would see a wide variety of styles used to represent that god, and all of them handmade. That choice of soapstone really added to the piece!
