Using water and my
scalpel, I
flattened the surface between the raised areas. As the clay relief is curved over the shoulder, it was also important to keep the relief at a
consistent height above the shoulder piece, adding and
removing clay where necessary. Finally, the edges were straightened with a metal sculpting tool.
Detail is added to the front and back of both shoulders. I was constantly checking to assure that they met along the centre line on each shoulder and that the pattern was consistent.
