bronze casting, part 7


All done! My finished dog BB in all her bronze glory. I need to photograph her on a black background to make the details really pop and I'll do that at the end of this week, when hell comes to its slow-burning end. (Stressed much?) All the little posts that extended from her ears and the gate on her back were sawed off with a chop saw (scary!) and then I buffed, grinded, scrubbed and broke off any extra metal I didn't want, using the bench grinder, angle grinder and a dremel. 3 hours flew by so quickly - I loved getting absorbed into the craft and I can see myself doing this all the time... I'm so glad I took this class this semester. Favorite and most fulfilling, hands down.
