Another trip to the foundry

My husband and I traveled to the foundry again.  It was a beautiful day to drive to Seagrove N.C.

I put the finishng touches on the horse and made some repairs on the bust.  The horse is made of a synthetic clay,which stays soft, and the bust is made of natural clay that has been fired.  I made the repairs on the bust with the synthetic clay, that is why the different colors.  I will travel to the foundry again for  the next stage which will be wax, then the bronze pour.

I will be photographing and maybe vedioing the process.

Here are front views of the sculptures.
