Kristy’s Blossom pregnancy sculpture now in Bronze!

Hi Friends,

What a happy thing I did….. :-) …. Since I had such a positive response to my fired clay pregnancy sculpture, I decided to make a mold and cast her in bronze so she’d be available as an edition. See a few mold pics and process notes here.  So glad I did because casting was a success and I’m pleased with the results.

Foundry was…..

Beautiful Dreamer Enlargement

Hi All,

After 11 months, I’m finally finished with the Beautiful Dreamer enlargement!  Below are finished pics of her prior to casting her into bronze. She measures about 15″ tall by 15″ wide (40% larger than the original was) and she’s still delicate looking at that size. 

 * Discoloration on the face is due to adding a different color of clay but no worries, it won’t show up in the bronze (of course :-) ). *

Sculpture Enlargement

Hi all,

Here are some pictures below of my sculpture enlargement for Beautiful Dreamer.  The foundry had such a difficult time with all of her small detail that I decided to enlarge her.  The sculpture enlargement is 40% greater than her original size- so she should be around 17 inches tall.   This will still allow her to look delicate and petite.  Going too large would have taken her out from being a bedroom or mantel piece.

Indian Maiden (Woman) Sculpture Update

Hi Everyone,

Last week Ron, my hubby, made a rock  base for the Indian woman.  So I decided to take some pics of her on the base since she’s almost finished.  What do you think of the base?  I think that it gives her an earthy feel.  He made the sculpture base out of papercrete which is just concrete with sand and a bunch of shredded paper.  The paper makes the base lighter. 

To view pics of her please click here below:

Indian Woman Sculpture WIP

The Indian feathers have temporarily been removed, well, actually, they fell off. :-)   I only had placed them on the head just to see if I wanted feathers on her.  I think that I will do them but turn them upside down and add some beads as well in her hair. 

The Indian woman’s back view was too husky so I feminized her quite a bit.  Here are some pics showing her prior to adding texture.  Ideally it would be good to create the texture simply from making the forms of the back.  In order to have the soft shades of grey in the shadows of the back, I found that I needed to utilize the brush dipped in water.   This brush is carefully dragged over the surface until I get the forms just right.
