I spent a little time last week working with bronze and copper clays together. It wasn't really very successful but I did get one little bird out of it so thought I'd show him to you.
This is one my standard birds in bronze and then I inlaid copper for the wings and eyes.
I like the contrast between the two metals and for something like this - it adds a nice definition to the bird. What do you think?
Cute! I've pretty much given up on bronze, since I don't like working with it once it's fired, but I have some copper clay I hope to try soon. You got such a nice finish on the bronze!
This blog tells you the stories behind my silver and aluminum creations - namely: why the design came to me; what inspired me; what story is connected to the piece; how the piece starts a new story etc. The stories add so much more to the piece and continue to develop as the piece goes to it's new owner.
I also tell you a little about my life in the wine country of Sonoma County, California and my husband writes once a month about what is happening in our vineyard that month.
I hope you'll come back regularly. I look forward to your comments.
