Lean on Me, April 2011                             

Alabaster stone. Currently sits on my mom's mantle because it matches the colors of her house perfectly.

This rock is lucky to be whole--there is a huge fracture line that runs through most of it. I totally thought it was going to break in half while I was carving it, my professor later told me that it is a minor miracle that it didn't. So for a while I called it Lucky, but I like the current title much better.
