Work in Progress..... 

"Feast and Famine" - Plasteline figures for casting. The larger figure has been sitting in my room of abandoned figures for over a year and a half. Decided to get busy and do something with it, so I am adding a wisp of a child. Copies will be available in hot cast and cold cast bronze.

Polymer (Super Sculpey) miniature figures - the top figure will be reading a book. Heads were made first, now the bodies are being made for the heads.

See finished pre-cast pieces. These polymer miniatures will be one of a kind castings and will have ivory finishes on them.

In Process "Rookie" the Rhodesian Ridgeback. near life-size bust  - edition of 20 bronze will be available. Includes miniature dog mounted on the right front corner of the base of the Ridgeback bust.

Shown below - a mold was taken from the plasteline originals and these wax investments were poured for the lost wax bronze casting. Ears will be cast separately and then welded on. See finished statue.
