A stone can hold a tale, but it speaks in a different tongue than a book. With each chisel stroke you carve a moment, a breath, a gesture, and the weight of the stone gives that moment permanence. A page can turn many scenes in a heartbeat, while a slab invites the viewer to pause, to feel the texture and the silence between the lines. If you choose the right figures, the right depth, and a clear narrative rhythm, a single slab can become a quiet epic that the eyes can follow and the heart can remember. So yes, a stone can tell a story as vividly as a book—just in a quieter, steadier voice. Keep the design simple, focus on the essential action, and let the stone itself do the storytelling.

That sounds like a good plan. Sketching first keeps the outline clear, and picking just a few strong moments will make the carving easier to follow. A child finding a hidden path feels like a quiet secret that stone can keep forever. Let's keep the lines simple and the details tight; the stone will hold the story for ages.

Sounds good. Keep that loop simple and steady, let the path twist naturally like a river. I’ll wait for your ideas and then we can plan the chisel strokes. The stone will breathe the story once we set the line.
