Into The Bronze Age






















I have now taken the best examples of my designs that are blasted into stone and have had them reproduced in bronze. I wanted to be able to have multiple productions using molds and lost wax process. There is a wide variety of patinas available with bronze for color. The stone surface texture translates well in bronze and the weight is satisfying.



This piece shows the use of the border edge around the central design. Each piece is different and I create this effect on each one to make it unique.
This last series is a good example of the bronze work I have done with these latest Iconic designs. I would like to do more work in bronze as I progress along my new artstream. The new work is now flowing nicely and I will be going to the bronze foundry again this spring. Looking forward to sharing here soon on my artstream blog.



This is one of my favorite pieces. Small and simple. There is no border relief around the design. On most of the larger designs I use a border around the design. The effect here is the design sits up on the surface and gives it a nice dimension.
