Eva Funderburgh:
Last bronze pour of the summer of bronze!
Eva Funderburgh:
Putting a clear coat on my bronze always terrifies me
Eva Funderburgh:
Decided I had to fix a lot on this piece after finally turning it vertical. Feel better about it now.
Eva Funderburgh:
Making progress on the third of the three beastie heads. It's got a little bird that's chillin'
Eva Funderburgh:
Roughing out a new set of beasts: fat martial sheep beast, beast under a leaf, shaggy beast in a high wind.
Eva Funderburgh:
Decided these guys needed a tad more embellishment. Nice finish to the day.
Eva Funderburgh:
First step of refining finished on my small beasties. I'll let them dry while I go for a run.
Eva Funderburgh:
Finished up the fat-tailed beast! Ready to be wood fired in a couple weeks
Eva Funderburgh:
Stressing about deadlines, but this guy makes me smile. I've been calling him "the champion".
Eva Funderburgh:
Spikes in a bed of spikes - this guy's getting a mane.
Eva Funderburgh:
Hunkering down as I start my next set of beasties.
Eva Funderburgh:
Roughing out a sequel to my piece "hide and seek", as a commission. They're playing tug-a-war!
Eva Funderburgh:
This in-progress guy has stolen a feather.
Eva Funderburgh:
More progress on the tugawar beast. The bottom half will be smooth, the top lumpy with trees growing on it
Eva Funderburgh:
Working on the posture of the little tugowar guys. They're only 1.5" long or so. Tiny!
Eva Funderburgh:
Almost done! I'm putting the finishing touches on everything.
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night in the studio, working on this beast and his pals, the barnacle babies. Last night to work!
Eva Funderburgh:
Finally getting started loading the kiln!
Eva Funderburgh:
Reached the middle firebox. Looks like we'll be loading for a third day.
Eva Funderburgh:
Folks contemplating the best loading configuration.
Eva Funderburgh:
Patina day! I want to finish this guy before we unload the kiln.
Eva Funderburgh:
My cat's lending a hand as I sketch some small lazy beasts to cast in bronze.
Eva Funderburgh:
Photographing the small pieces today. Still a bit to do on the bigger work.
Eva Funderburgh:
Putting together a bunch of little guys to cast in bronze for the holidays! They look like lollipops.
Eva Funderburgh:
Perfect day for a bronze pour!
Eva Funderburgh:
So begins the big beast!
Eva Funderburgh:
Attaching the bits and pieces, building them into a body of a beast.
Eva Funderburgh:
Roughing out antlers for the big guy, to be cast in bronze later.
Eva Funderburgh:
Day one of loading at the wood kiln has gone well! Big Beast is in, in the middle section.
Eva Funderburgh:
The second day of loading is going well. We're a set of shelves past the middle firebox.
