Bronze Sculpture

Part of a larger piece, cast as a test for the new foundry. Bronze.

My first bronze sculpture

My first sculpture in bronze!  Yes, it has a meaning. Is not finished yet...need to figure out base (will be very simple plane...dark wood or bronze), as well as decide if will patina.

Sculpture in Progress

Liberated bronze from casting apparatus. This was among my first attempts at wax for bronze....joined people. Has taken a long time to get cast.  Actually, my next post will be my first sculpture actually cast, which I believe is my "best" so far as it has a more personal "learning" meaning to me.  These "joined" people will be removed from the sprues next week.

The "8s" in the last photo were actually my first shapes I kept, but not the first cast.   Hack saw and angle grinder. Now for sandblast and patina. .
