Bronze Piece




This is my first experience with bronze casting. I used the lost wax technique. The three forms are separate and must be delicately balanced to stand. This was my first shot at patina work on bronze as well. I'm a big fan of cupric nitrate. About forty coats of that gave me that classic sea foam green. The bottom hole originally had a little creature but the wax shattered in the early stages. Now I use it as a pencil holder.
