For my dwelling project I chiseled a castle out of plaster. First I poured a mix of plaster and water into an old milk carton. After it solidified I began chiseling. I had a few reference photos to build of off, but I was pretty lost at first. As the shape got more defined it became easier to chisel. It's not exactly how I wanted it to be, but after a piece broke of I became scared to overwork it. My biggest challenge was fixing it, but luckily another classmate was making plaster the same day it broke. I used her left over to put it back together, and you could barely tell the difference one I smoothed it out. I think fixing it was my greatest accomplishment. I really liked chiseling , I hope to do it gain in the future. Next time I'll put more thought into it beforehand and make a more definite reference sketch.
