Ethiopian girl with beads

Here is what I'm working on this week.
This is an Ethiopian girl based on a fantastic photo by Aliza Rubinstein I found with a random search on Picasaweb


My sketch

Ethiopian girl with beads

I still have a long way to go. The beads take a lot of time but are an important part of the composition.
I plan to make her face more graceful, and add details to her stomach and back.

If it looks good when it's completed I will probably have it cast into bronze.

Wax cast model approved - Jamie

I have approved the wax for my sculpture of "Jamie".

Now the foundry can make the ceramic shell from the wax copy.
The wax is melted out and filled with the bronze.  This is known as the "lost wax" process.
