My inspiration for this project came from 1 Corinthians 13. One of my first carvings was the word “faith” for a Christmas gift for my lovely wife. I like the understated quality of the untinted lettering on the limestone. The words “faith” and “love” were carved out of a different piece of stone than “hope”, which explains why they are a slightly lighter shade. In fact, when I washed the pieces after carving them, I could actually hear the water being absorbed into the rock, as though the stone was thirsty. I bet there is a sermon in there somewhere.
