Naval badge in Portland stone



Shown here is a detail of the Royal Naval badge I carved in Portland stone as part of the Boy Sailors memorial destined for Portsmouth cathedral (see earlier post). I really enjoyed carving this, though the detailing on the crown was a challenge, especially as the stone will be laid in the floor, so although I've tried to include as much fiddly detail as possible I've had to bear in mind this will also be walked on so mustn't be fragile.
