Artist's Comments

this was a little project i did in my Sculpture class at college, i had fun with it, even taut the teacher a few things apparently...><

what is it? its a thing...Its supposed to be a mask of a Gazelle...

Cast Bronze
Lots of time and chemicals went into the green patina, I worked to make it look like it was bronze around Green granite or something. I definitely know how to do it better next time...if there ever is a next time...
And the polishing i don't even want to talk about,....I'm still polishing it ><

Unfortunately, i wasn't sure weather this should have gone under Metal Work, or Costumes...though, as a mask, I don't think i would want 20 pounds of bronze on my face...

patina fun? i should write a guide maybeh. know the techniquekeke for over 40 colors +_+
ah, you should wax over the patina to protect it and make it shine. you ever hear of the quillan frogs? i learned from that guy. no paint, its all patina..

that's a unique mask you got there. if you want the brasss to stay polished you can also wax it, or do the lazy-mill and coat with varnish/epoxy/tongue oil.

i need to finish polishing it to its mirror finish....the thing is....the patina is so tender the wax horribly distorts it....it has a patina spray on it though...as for the metal, again, when i put anything on it it dulls....but then again, its gonna dull anyways...I had i polished so bright at one point it looked like platinum...
