About a year and a half ago I discovered that the medium I worked with for my bastardized version of casting was discontinued never to be created or sold again. I had spent years perfecting its use. The technique I used to create some of my most beloved and iconic designs like my signature bee and the hearts. Needless to say this was a major blow to my work. Especially since learning a new method is mistly trial and error which is time consuming and frankly time is the most scarce resource in my life these days. I have had so many projects I want to bring to life, but put off dreading the failed attempts: opening the kiln after hours of working on a piece only to have it crumble in my hand. Over the past year I’ve stolen bits of time here and there, tested out a few products, had more than my share of foibles, but am starting to get the hang of it. In fact, I love the warm richness of this bronze perhaps a little more than the previous bronze I used. In love with this imperfect little hand I created this week. More to come!!!
