Facebook's unwillingness to show posts from the people I actually follow but show random things I might be interested in sometimes has interesting results. Today I saw this post by Sandra Deiana - coin designer:

"From plaster to metal.
My portrait of Pope Francis created for the Malta Coin Centre. The journey from the sculpted plaster model to the finished coin is always a fascinating transformation.
Every detail you see in metal begins with hours of sculpting by hand."
