It’s been a while since I’ve had something new in the store to show you. This past weekend I cast bronze, and I really like working with it. Silver prices are still high so I chose this as an alternative metal. Bronze alloys come in various colors, including a white bronze, so I may cast some silver-looking pieces that don’t carry the price tag of silver and aren’t silver-plated, either. These are my first two experiments. Bronze uses a very similar casting technique as silver. The koi was initially carved in wax and cast. The bird skull was a wee pheasant from a bird farm that I took a mold from to make the wax to cast. Let me know what you think. I think there will be more to come along these lines.

Beautiful. I especially like the skull as it’s subtle.
