It's interesting to hear that it varies in hue, given that it's name is often used <i>as</i> a colour. The blood-filling was inspired by reading that alabaster is usually translucent -- I found it kind of grisly, the idea that the wizard's blood can be seen inside the homonculus.Gavin Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362875699031245377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-61432359746960130712011-04-01T23:54:45.997+02:002011-04-01T23:54:45.997+02:00Very Cool!

We met and talked with a sculpter who was working with raw alabaster. It's fascinating stuff to carve and work with--and it's a great material from which to create an homoculus.netherwerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361800925618339097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681509622212079331.post-84048473382056752532011-04-01T23:23:45.934+02:002011-04-01T23:23:45.934+02:00Feels like something out of a Jack Vance Dying Ear...Feels like something out of a Jack Vance Dying Earth novel, great stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
