Hello Everyone,

Patricia


'Enlightenment'
Alabaster - still a work in progress [ I've been working on it for years ! ]

'Grace And Dignity'
Bronze

'Wisdom'
I'm still working on a wax version for casting in bronze.

'Starseeker'

Clay -I painted it to show what it would like if cast in bronze.

'Starseeker'

Wax - I'm working on the wax version of Starseeker for casting in bronze
using the 'lost wax 'casting method.

'Awakening'

Clay - this was done years ago but before I could sculpt the drapery etc
it dried out and crumbled !

More later.
Happy New Year Everyone.
Cheers
Patricia

It's so good to see your different sculptures in progress, Patricia. How soon are you planning to cast Starseeker in bronze? I hope the foundry will allow you to take some photos for our edification. I cannot wait to see the whole process, including the patination.

Thankyou Hermes2020. I don't know when or if the foundry will cast it. Years ago,
when casting 'Grace And Dignity' , they allowed me to use their facilities and do all the
work ie: cast the wax , do the gating etc and dip the ceramic shell.
Then they melted out the wax and poured the bronze. Then I did some chasing etc
and chose the patina . This saved a lot of money ! Nowadays , the foundry might not be
so willing [ I haven't asked them yet ! ] although, it will still be cheaper than usual , since
I have already done the wax ! I'll probably contact them next week.
Cheers

Impressive- that's the word for sure! I have done some clay figure work- tiny- so I know the level of skill that this takes!
