Bunny tree

I have had a productive spring break. Here are some bunnies ready to be cast in bronze. The larger ones will be little figures de art and the smaller ones zipper pulls.

I made the small ones using a product called Reduce-it. It is pretty cool but I wish it would shrink a bit more than it does (maybe 2/3 dimensionally). I made one more reduction, which will be for charms) but I did not make a mold of it yet.

I also cast some rings last week but did not get them finished yet.

Rough cast

This is the rough casting of a bunny I did as a quick demonstration for my lost wax casting class. I used sticky wax and it was so sticky I could not be my usual obsessive perfectionist, which is a good thing, as it freed me up to be spontaneous. I think it turned out pretty cute. It is cast in bronze.
