I am not artistically inclined, at least not in the realm of sculpture. The most extensive sculpture project I ever undertook was a diorama for elementary school. Carved from soap, all of the little woodland creatures ended up looking like little pastel lumps with occasional protrusions that might have been ears and gouges that looked like eyes if you squinted. As a result of my own lack of talent, I am enthralled when someone else can take a piece of stone and turn it into a flower so realistic that all that is missing is color.
These are detail shots of flowers on Lake View Cemetery monuments.
