My Adventures in Crafting stuff

Way back in 2009 I completed a course in Bronze Casting with David Reid.

Started to set up my own "studio". Okay - I set out some stuff in my garage. These are some human forms that I poured into a mold (made on the course)

I dressed one of the men and he looks like this... He is sort of Spanish old world soldier or maybe a Tudor(ish) noble

Some wax modeling tool purchased. They come in all sorts of nifty shapes - good for poking , prodding , scraping and smoothing. I can see why some people got hold of dentistry tools - these were orders of magnitude cheaper :-)

A local trader has asked me to make some touristy sort of things for him in brass. Is casting brass the sames as bronze? we'll find out soon enough :-)

I'm starting to have enough to go to the casting stage. It's exciting to think about using my newly created sprueing molds. So - this is thes last project before I get on with the Ceramic stage (honest :-) )
