Oh yeah - I saw the forest scene already, but the sculpture I had not seen.
I like.

I just put some images on Flickr too.

Amazing stuff, Bernard, truly!

I particularly love the sculpture shown in the first two pictures. If Australia wasn't so far away, I would like to see them for real.

Thanks Chaz and Notvacka. The paintings don't come up to well with my cheap camera. Wow Chaz - instant like with your work especially the dionysis/bachuss. I'm not familiar with this morphing. Is that an your own idea - jealous to see you've managed something bronze cast. Those ceramic (?) morphs are really fun looking things to do as well. I have started a carving project composed of several low relief tableaus, of which I'm nearing the end of the first, that present fossil type of scenes. I'll ping it up here when done. We follow similar creative currents I think. If you get interested in wood carving ever I can recommend this forum highly: http://www.woodworkforums.com/f10/

Your turn Notvacka... empty your pockets, what have you got?

If I had the cash I defiantly would have had a bronze cast. But the technique you see is 'cold cast bronze resin'. This is a painstaking process.
First make the clay model; then the silicone mould in two parts; then the resin or paster support casing.
Then mix bronze with black gel-coat resin in the two parts; join two halves; infill with what you can afford.
De-mold and rub with steel wool to bring up the bronze.

The morph is due the the fact that I'd come off my bike breaking four ribs and was taking a lot of Morphine; hence Morphine morphology.
Its made of Jesmonite plaster.
The morph is ONE item - look again!!!

Sent you a PM. (Chaz has already seen my work.)
