And now . . . side "B"

I decided that it was time to give the other side some love, even though it seems to work just fine for me to get one side of these Mandala pieces nearly finished before addressing the other. As you can see, several stepped forms are coming out of the stone - a recurring theme it seems. I'd guess that this stone is approaching three quarters done, which means I'll have to start to thinking about what kind of base it will need. This piece is quite a bit less massive than the previous two, and will therefore need something other than a big chunk of concrete as a base.
