At the beginning of the year I intended to sculpt and cast three pieces so that I had the enough work for a full submission for the Great Sheffield Art Show. My deadline was the end of September and I've managed it with a month to spare. I'm quite happy with the progress I've made with my casting ability and can see a substantial improvement over last years efforts. Here's what I came up with. Cthulhu Icon 7.5 x 6cm Patina: Fumigated in salt and vinegar for 9 hours Fumigated in Ammonia.88 for 12 hours Dipped in a weak sulphur solution for about 10 seconds. Enamel finish Sparrow 10cm x 15cm Patina: Dipped in a very strong sulphur solution until completely black. Selectively sanded back to base metal with a wire brush. Dipped again in a weak sulphur solution. Enamel finish Bull 11.5 x 16cm Patina: Airbrushed with ferric nitrate and a torch. Dipped in medium sulphur solution. Enamel Finish
