Ready for Approval !

It's almost November, as you can see the process of creating a sculpture out of Bronze is very time consuming, so many hours, and so many steps. I just received an email that the foundry is ready for me to come up and approve the clean up of all the parts.
The next step is to put them all together!
Can you tell I am  VERY EXCITED !!

Wax Poured

Beautiful 

Wax molds look great, prep time worth was worth it, now fine-tuning all areas making the wings as symmetrical as possible. The base pedals was flatten on the bottom to eliminate the rocking and create a solid foundation for the butterfly and flower. All pieces will be welded to together after they are poured to give a clean line at seams.

Base of stand, thin wax added for design, all is textured.
