Modern Artifacts

The tree of pendants, freshly trimmed and ready for cleaning. Easter island heads

Another quench from today. Bright red is too hot and might result in cracking of the metal. I wait till the red is faded and the metal is cooled slightly after a few minutes. It’s still super hot!

Had the chance to record a quench from a casting yesterday. The metal is freshly poured and still super hot, so the cooler water boils quickly to dissolve the investment plaster away from the metal inside. Lots of bubbling ensues

Say hello to the Mouth of Truth. This looks fantastic polished. We will add a light patina to the finish to highlight the detail a little more, but it turned out better than I hoped I will hopefully have these posted for sale this weekend!

Working on some wax trees today and also, getting ready to cast a new design Can’t wait to see the new guy in bronze!
