Thank you David,
Yes, I made a mold of it to make a miniature bronze, and then patina'd this polymer one and sent it to my client.
We all need more clients like this. He got it today and was so thrilled with it that he decided he had to have a life-size bronze version of her at this age too. I will be doing the patinas on all of the bronzes too. So far, that's 7 busts. 3 down, 4 to go. Some day I will be brave enough to do this full time, but not today...
Quote from client made my day - makes it all worth while:
"You captured her so perfectly that I just have to have it done life size...please don't cancel the small bronze one- I will take that to my beach house.
I can't tell you how impressed I am with what you do with your hands - it is miraculous - absolutely unbelievable. It is just as if my mom were in the room with me... Thank you so much..."
