<p style="font-size: 100%; text-align: left;">Jim's sculpture is coming along well. The figure is made of bronze.

Here is the Big EGG coming out of the Kiln after a month of annealing. It weighs about 65 pounds. The next step is to finish removing the plaster/silica mold ( The white stuff).</p>
<p>Then on to finishing the surface.....</p>
<p>Check back later for more progress on the Big EGG.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.marthacroasdale.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-10998926.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
