Hello artists and fans. I hope you are well.

I had been mulling over the idea of how to bring sculpture to Steemit and this community for days. I mean sculptures made by ourselves, in our workshop, with blocks of some material that is easy to chisel and intervene, to “draw” in three dimensions, literally, (outside of digital, without detracting from that possibility in the near future)

### I found the way!

Cleaning out some drawers in my desk, I stumbled upon a box of square bars of common white chalk, the kind we use at school, Ta daa…

I remembered that in my high school days, I spent some time sculpting on pieces of chalk, which I took from teachers, and with needles and hairpins, I killed boredom.

I left it a long time ago, and it was always a hobby, however, I see this as an interesting proposal to learn to sculpt a manageable material, expand our portfolio of artistic pieces and facilitate the photographic capture of said pieces.

For now, I will call them mini chalk sculptures, since they are miniature sculptures. Possibly, between all of us, we can give it another name. Without further ado.

It was a very relaxing experience, although I also realized that I need practice and to improve the finish. I didn't manage to build the sphere, but it is a spheroid.
