Stone age to Bronze age

I started out creating these designs on rock and stone collected from rivers and beaches around the state. I will display some of the originals on the next posting. I really like the somewhat rough texture of each rock. Some are quite porous and soft while others are smooth and hard. The bronze translates these qualities in different ways with each type of patina. I've used some really rough textured stone all the way to a polished , smooth surface. Having molds is a great advantage when trying different surface and design applications. Using patinas is a really fun way to create a different effect with color. More examples will follow...............
