Another stunning sculpture you make it look so easy, taking a piece of slate and getting the perfect size and shape this proves you have a good eye . Always look forward to your videos.
It was quite a thrill to watch you draw the oval from the four reference points. I am a calligrapher, not up there with the masters or anything but not a novice either. Ovals and curves are what we practise. Drawing an oval is not as easy as you made it look. Those shapes you create as each layer progresses also create an infinite number of ways in which it could go wrong. Yet the sculpture has such balance of form it is breathtaking. Thank you for taking time to share it with us.
Thank you Richard. I'm pleased the amount of work comes across. Of speeding up the video to make it watchable while still conveying just how long it really takes.
If you turn up and your workshop one day and find a peculiar object just sitting in a corner somewhere, that'll just be me lol I could watch you work all day 😍
Absolutely beautiful!!! The finished piece gives me a calming feeling when viewed, could the symmetry create this effect??? No matter this will be a lovely addition to what I'm sure is a grand garden!!!! Stay safe!!!! Best wishes from Kentucky, USA!!!!!
@@jamesparkersculpture so many people underestimate how much we use in our everyday lives. I love what you are doing with it. Nice sculpture. You have a good eye for detail
In-freakin-sane!!! I actually find the process almost hypnotizing...and the outcome is always amazing!! James you are so gifted ~ Keep up the beautiful work!!
Hi James this is Michelle from California once again this video was amazing I look forward to seeing more of your videos and a bit of Scotland's Countryside
Loved every second of this video. So incredibly beautiful. In fact I'll go as far as saying phenomenal Sculpting, a true gift. All the very best James to you and your lovely family in 2021. ☺☺☺☺👌👌👌👌🌷🌷🌷🌷
Truly amazing, your Art work is stunning. Do you put the designs down on paper. Or do you just know how the design will turn out. Happy new year to you and your family. 👍🐺
Thanks Douglas. Yes - when it is safe to do so and the rules permit. I also have a sculpture waiting in Spain to be installed and a huge number of enquiries from North America. Such strange times we are all in.
Beautiful as alway's. Just a thought how about putting in some of the bloopers, lets see your humane n make the odd mistake or are you a C.G.I. your sculptures look so perfect!
The famous haggis hunt. A rarely seen beast that is found high in the Scottish mountains. It often makes an appearance on 25th January - an unusual looking creature...one leg longer than the other making it easier to keep it's balance on the rugged terrain.
@@jamesparkersculpture oh I love it. I’ll add the Haggis hunt to my bucket list. Also your drone footage is awesome. Keep it up and keep sharing with your brothers may you all get to 1,000,000 subs.
Hi Dee. No it's not fixed - I build quite a lot before fixing it periodically. It's not the same so if I used it as a template it would only help get a rough shape. The other thing to think about is that the shape is determined partly by the thickness of the stone:If the stone is thin then the shape would be more similar to the stone beneath/above, if it is thick then the difference is greater. Even though this stone is fairly similar in thickness it can vary by a few millimetres which makes quite a difference.
Well the long and short of it, a torus stone is a donut shaped rock with a hole in the middle that generates magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Incredibly powerful technology that exist merely by shape and nothing else (the ones I've seen are granite if I'm not mistaken. UA-cam used to have videos on it but the best ones have been removed along with some other discoveries
Hi Samantha. I give the small chippings to landscaping firms. I talk about this and other FAQs in some Q and A videos I made if you want to find out more.
Absolutely brilliant - the precision is everything

Thank you Richard. I'm pleased the amount of work comes across. Of speeding up the video to make it watchable while still conveying just how long it really takes.
Happy New Year! 🎆 Pretty Amazing work James!
Thanks Michael. Happy New Year to you too.
When I see the settings your sculptures are in after seeing them in your workshop, it seems like a whole new piece. Just wondrous!
Thank you. The settings are so important. Visualising those settings at the outset is important too.
Thank you James, another beautiful masterpiece! 😊👏
Thanks a lot Kim. Glad you liked it!
James I love your work! I love slate, & stone. Beautiful

Thanks Cindy. It's hopefully a common thread of my work. Balanced primeval forms do have a calming effect.
Best wishes for 2021! This is a stunning piece of sculpture

Thanks Mona
Truly amazing, your Art work is stunning. Do you put the designs down on paper. Or do you just know how the design will turn out. Happy new year to you and your family. 👍🐺
Thanks Jeanette. I drew this piece the first time I made it. If nothing else I need to convey my ideas to my clients.
This is beautiful, very talented indeed 👍
Thank you
Just discovered your channel. Very interesting. Thank you
Thanks Gianna! Delighted you enjoyed it and great to have you aboard!
Nice One James
Thanks Jonathan
Good to have you back. Missed your vids as they are nice and relaxed - so to speak. Are you going to France to commission the sculpture ?.
Thanks Douglas. Yes - when it is safe to do so and the rules permit. I also have a sculpture waiting in Spain to be installed and a huge number of enquiries from North America. Such strange times we are all in.
Hi James, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you and your family! Good to see you post a video. 😃
Thanks! Same to you and your family. This one just took so long to make - Delighted you enjoyed it!
Who is the singer? The art is amazingly simple, yet the look is inspired. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Allen. Delighted you enjoyed it. Thanks. The singer is Caroline Smit, the group is Wildflowers and the song is 'Everything Stops'.
And all I wonder is how heavy the finished product will be and how you will move it. It's lovely.
Thanks Mary. Moving it will be a challenge. It weighs just over a ton if my maths is correct 🤔
Hi James, great video and thanks for sharing. Happy, Health, Hopeful New Year to you and your family. Best wishes
Thanks Stanley. Same to you and yours!
I’ve even found a place for $3 used roof slates if I pickup. Just want to try once.
Best of luck with it Fred! Happy chipping!
Beautiful 👍🏼
Beautiful as alway's. Just a thought how about putting in some of the bloopers, lets see your humane n make the odd mistake or are you a C.G.I. your sculptures look so perfect!
Thanks Susan! Of course I make the occasional mistake. No one's perfect!! I have left a few in 😉
Gorgeous!!
Thank you 😊
Incredible
Beautiful creations I enjoy watching your process. I've not seen you glue any pieces together, don't you glue things together?
Thanks Terri. I use all sorts of methods of securing the sculptures. I do prefer to leave a little mystery!!
Fascinating process of shaping the pieces. Is there any use for the “crumbs” that are chipped off? If not, what do you do with the waste?
Hi Kathleen. I give it away to landscaping companies.
@@jamesparkersculpture Lucky them! Really enjoying your videos. Glad GP recommended you.
One of these day we’ll have a blue steak!
Definitely Fred!
do you end up gluing it together? or is it free standing always?
Hi Tamie - in this case I fixed it together at various points. Others are dry.
@@jamesparkersculpture thank you
Hello. your work is very beautiful. Do you glue them together with glue at the finishing stage?
Will you be able to make it to the Haggis hunt later in the month?
The famous haggis hunt. A rarely seen beast that is found high in the Scottish mountains. It often makes an appearance on 25th January - an unusual looking creature...one leg longer than the other making it easier to keep it's balance on the rugged terrain.
@@jamesparkersculpture oh I love it. I’ll add the Haggis hunt to my bucket list. Also your drone footage is awesome. Keep it up and keep sharing with your brothers may you all get to 1,000,000 subs.
Could you share what mask are you using? Does it work well?
He has an entire video on masks - look it up 😊
Hooe this helps! ua-cam.com/video/417kevAUGeI/v-deo.html
are the individual slates bound by an adhesive or something or is it all supported by gravity?
Yes - I secured each piece before transporting it.
Just wondered if you could use the lower slate as a template? Or is it already glued?
Hi Dee. No it's not fixed - I build quite a lot before fixing it periodically. It's not the same so if I used it as a template it would only help get a rough shape. The other thing to think about is that the shape is determined partly by the thickness of the stone:If the stone is thin then the shape would be more similar to the stone beneath/above, if it is thick then the difference is greater. Even though this stone is fairly similar in thickness it can vary by a few millimetres which makes quite a difference.
Quick question are you able to build functioning torus stones by chance?
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by 'functioning'?
Well the long and short of it, a torus stone is a donut shaped rock with a hole in the middle that generates magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Incredibly powerful technology that exist merely by shape and nothing else (the ones I've seen are granite if I'm not mistaken.

What happens to the pieces you break off?
Hi Samantha. I give the small chippings to landscaping firms. I talk about this and other FAQs in some Q and A videos I made if you want to find out more.
@@jamesparkersculpture thank you. I will look for it. Love your work.
How much is one of your pieces
Hi Russell, can you email enquiries@jamesparkersculpture.co.uk please and we'll get back to you straight away. Thanks
Did you have to go to an art school to learn how to do sculpting?
Hi Ellen, no - I'm self taught.
@@jamesparkersculpture you do amazing artwork! I love your use of different materials to create your sculptures!
You make your brother that sculpture yet‽......
Nope😂
