The first major project I did was of a mermaid made out of cardboard. First, I carved the front part, the mermaid sitting on the stone. The basic outline was all that was needed, then the rock layer was taken off to make it appear as though the mermaid were sitting on it. The process of making the sailor behind the rock was done the same way as the mermaid was done. After that, the mermaid piece was placed on top of the sailor piece. The most difficult part was carving along the curves of both figures, with their fingers and heads. It was difficult to do it especially with parts of the mermaid over the rock, as the fingers couldn't be part of the rock. I feel that my success with this piece was the dimension given in the layers and the shading on both pieces. I feel that this piece was a success overall given how the dimension looks.
