My blog postings usually describe my Work in Progress activities, but I will occassionally post interesting event notices or other items related to this website. Subscribe to my blog to receive an email when I post new work.
I have mostly completed my second Supergirl. This one was cast using white bronze for her cape, boots, and uniform. I raised the copper on her cape and boots to provide the red color, but I didn’t much care for a silver colored costume. So, I used my cold enamel coloring to provide a more […]
In 2013 I wrote a slot machine application for my website. This was a fun way to show some of my resin model work. Of course, some sort of prize was necessary should the slot machine stop at a winning combination. For this, I wanted to set off fireworks. In 2016 I set up my […]
In 2013 I wrote a dynamic Java application to generate Fractal images. These are beautiful forms generated from simple mathematics. In 2016 I updated my application and posted it to a Fractals page on my Bronze Art website. Take a look if you are interested. This is where I describe how beautiful fractal images can […]
In 2013 I built a slot machine[3] for my website using photographs of my resin models. At that time using jQuery and HTML5 for animating events was the modern way. When considering communication events for a winning prize I thought of a fireworks display. The physics for particle movement in three dimensional space are beyond […]
Although not related to my Bronze Art, one of the curiosities that I have developed is my artistic Fractal Image Explorer program. This is used to create wonderful images of mathematical fractal functions. Fractals are functions such that whenever you look deeper into a section of the curve you see repetitions and self-similarities to what […]
Halloween is coming, so today I cast a skull. This one is in white bronze. It stands 4 cm tall and weighs 190 grams and is mostly solid. It feels really nice when you hold it in your hand. I did drill out some of the wax from the bottom of the skull to manage […]
I finished my cannons. The last step was to solder pins to the wheels and fabricate a marble base.
I’m almost finished my first version of Supergirl. This one will be colored with cold enamel. My second version that is cast but waiting to be assembled has her cape, boots, and uniform in white bronze. This version will not be colored. The photos show my masking and coloring, for both her blue and red. […]
So, this is yet another update. As best as I can tell, the post update did not appear on Facebook. It makes sense, particularly since the documentation states: “Publicize only works for brand new posts that have never been published before. You cannot re-publicize something once it has already been published.” —————— This is an […]
I have been working on Supergirl for some time. This is my first WIP for her, although I did post a previous Work-In-Progress for casting her cape. Supergirl has turned out to be a time consuming and perhaps expensive figure to cast. It took almost 4.5 kg of silicone rubber for her moulds. She will […]
