Disembodied Pug

Disembodied pug? I like how this one turned out, especially the gold around the irises in his eyes. What do you all think? Yes or no on the gold in the eyes?

Experimenting with Color on Concrete

The upside to the castings that don’t turn out is that they give me the opportunity to experiment. This little guy came out of the mold with too many bubbles so I tried some black stain on him to see what would happen. I left the eyes unstained but stained the pupils. The gray pug turned out fine and I included him to show the contrast.

Clean Castings

These are hydrostone castings from the new molds I made yesterday to keep as copies in case the molds tear or wear out. The all white material sort of dulls their expressions but you get the gist of them. I filled the molds with concrete this morning and those castings will be ready to show in a few days. The molds turned out really clean with clear details. Yeah!
