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.
And now we come to The Casting of Alice. We mix her up in a little bit of plaster and embed her in steel flasks. I presume this is quite an adventure? Last night I ran my kiln to melt Alice and burn out the wax models. This morning I started my electric furnace to […]
I am casting another Alice in Wonderland. What more could we wish for if we wanted a fabulous adventure full of words like jabberwocky and boojum and galumph and snark and snithy and vorpul. Completely nonsensical but, perhaps not? I’m starting a bronze cast of Alice mixed up in the middle of some consecutive gears. […]
I’ve finished casting my pirate chests, bird skeleton, and some pirate hats. You’ll have to wait a bit longer for the pirate wench. She’s the one who is supposed to be wearing the hat. I’m quite proud of my pirate chests. They each weigh approximately 500 grams and are very solid. I have some hinges […]
I am back to making bronze pirate things. I am casting a pirate chest, some shells, and a bird skeleton. I have had some problems creating silicone moulds for the pirate chest, but I think I have finally succeeded (on my 3rd attempt). I thought to show some pictures of what I cast today. You […]
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 […]
