Week 3 of Voluptuous Female Form.

The following photo is the grand unveiling of all of the bronzes back from the foundry. I didn't have any trouble recognizing mine.


Some of the bronzes came back smoother than others which the tutor suggested was probably due to the sand mixture we each made for the molds. As you can see below mine was one of the less smooth.


The next stage is to start cleaning up the rough edges etc. on the bronze. We did this with several different types of hand and power tools.



Below is my bronze at the end of the day's work.







I am not sure whether to leave it like this or spend more time making it smoother and more polished.
