Over the past 3 or so months I have been working on a variety of projects. The previous post I did of the coconut also took place during this time.  Pictured here are some of the other projects I have done. 

This First picture is actually from a project from work. It is a door pull for a Brewery with the companies logo. One of the first steps is making a "master" or original out of wood, which is the center object. Then, a mold is made of the master, and the mold is cast onto a pattern board to latter be cast in bronze via a sand casting method. 

 
I threw a lot of pots in our garage, and these are two that I decided to try carving. I actually used a dremel tool to carve them after they were bone dry. I'm not sure that I would recommend doing that... It produces a ton of dust, and I will probably have lung cancer from it.


These next two photos are of a bust I made out of fired clay...


Lastly, this figure was made out of an oil based clay. He is roughly a foot long, and has been a lot of fun to work on.
