Today, we began sculpting the Jade City arch. In order that we achieve maximum detail we opted to tackle every second stone today with the remaining sections on tomorrow’s agenda. This will allow for nice crisp delineation between the giant blocks of jade. The twisted vine and top lion will follow next week.

As always, the feature seemed to grow in bulk as the see-through mesh was covered in concrete. It’s going to be a beauty when it is done! Stay tuned…
