Stage one was the experiment: to see if bronze woven wire can be used to support a wax sculpture for a lost wax casting.

Then to find a base to present the work - much thanks to Andrew!
Burning is magic too
Thanks Andrew.... then assembly and patenation - alchemy!

And finally the pear.... it's been a while since I cast work in the kiln... now I can get a reading on how my power consumption goes:
Two molds went into the kiln on the Saturday afternoon.... I tried to pick the time when there wouldn't be a "curb your power" moment... just made it!

And then... oh yes David helped me get the work out of the car and set up at the show.
