Bronze Shell

I'm feverishly trying to put the finishing touches on bronze pieces so I can get them in the kiln before I go to bed. I wanted to share my first attempt at making a larger very lifelike shell. The tip actually broke off when I was cleaning it up but I managed to put it back on and it survived further filing so I hope it's ok.

Here's the shell, the mold and the unfired bronze piece, it'll be fired tonight so I'll let you know how it turns out!

  4. Can I pre-reserve one? Seriously. That is beauty-full.
    Enjoy the day!
