Welcome to my bronze casting work for Alice’s Adventures, also known as Alice in Wonderland. I have finished casting and assembling Alice’s Adventures. This version of Alice had a patina applied to better distinguish the figure from the gears. I’ve mounted Alice on an octagonal marble base. The bronze casting weighs 700 grams on the […]
Happy New Year! I thought it time to update my Bronze Treasures website as the old style was, well, old. So, I have changed the theme styling to something that is a bit more modern. You can always let me know if you like this better? I also didn’t think my site was being indexed […]
I’m casting my violin girl, also known as Beethoven. I am also doing another music stand, too. I am also continuing to test and adjust my automatic Facebook connection for this post.

I’m still experimenting with auto posing to Facebook from my website. This is a test post to see if this AccessPress application plugin works? I terminated my Jetpack connection for performance reasons due to wp-cron behaviour.
I put Alice together today. I still need to polish her and do the final finishing work but Alice’s Adventure in bronze is mostly done. Here are some pictures of today’s activities. The adventure begins by pinning Alice. The pin helps when I solder her torso together. In fact, I had to put her together […]
