Amber Listserv / Sculpture question

[Andy Ng]

Yes John, I remember that Picasso piece...beautiful thing. I doubt I'll have
a market for a Moore-esque resinite sculpture and a sale is not on my mind.
It's just something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I've always
found Henry Moore's works to be captivating.

The Edgars is/are right. I have in mind a few large chunks (2-4kg), and such
a style on a smaller piece wouldn't have much of an effect. It's gotta be
done using one of the jungle giants. I'll be moving the workshop to larger
premises on the 15th...lets see what I can do about it once the dust settles
(or when the amber dust starts flying again).
