Stop motion

The days at the workshop are really slow, Fausta is growing fast and now she preffers playing than taking a nap.
But I still manage to get some pieces made:
Espuma platters in process:

Photographer Martin Klimas made pictures of porcelain figurines crashing agaisnt the floor.
The result is really amazing as the pieces seem to be in movement.
My favourites are the pictures of the white porcelain figurines.

The stone

Stones from Mendoza, Argentina.

An image of the Carrara Marble Quarries by Edward Burtynsky.
This place has been provinding marble for architecture and art from more than 1000.
So many unique art pieces have been made from this material, including La Pieta by Michelangelo, the most beautiful sculpture I have ever seen.
