Another sculptor friend took these two foxes to LA to sell for me. They are made of bronze like my other ones.

What does the fox say?

This is one of my pieces I finally patinated in my sculpture class. The design is based off of the origami fox fold, which I used to do a ton of those little foxes as a kid. This one is caste in bronze, and is only a few inches high. There is a medium sized one that will be cast this coming summer, and a large one about a foot high that has been cast, but has no patina on it yet.

So I've shown a few work-in-progress photos, but I wanted to show some of the end results. I also wanted to pair up all the Jewelry pieces I've made over the years, since I'm currently making an art portfolio.

The first pair are earrings meant to be abstract fossils, based off the trilobite. The second pair are based off an old OC of mine, which was a small candid that only had three toes. I plan to make those pendants though, or dog tags on something in the future.

The third photo is a size comparison of the pieces to a Quarter.

The Next three photos after that are actually older pieces, my first experiments in real jewelry making, and are pins. The wolf one is based off the Lightning Bear of Native American Mythology, the second one based off an OC of mine, and the third is a pheonix. On it's feathers it reads "From Ashes Dreams Are Born".

Up next is a pendant necklace I made, a tear-shaped droplet of bronze that was created when my first sculpture ruptured during the casting process. I sanded it, polished it up on a buffer wheel, and it became a better piece of art than the original sculpture!

The pieces after that are still works in progress. The largest broken infinity symbol is bound to become a belt buckle, the smaller a necklace. Those tiny droplets are similar to my pendant, and will be buffered up and made into necklaces. I'm hoping to sell them to help support the foundry I cast my pieces at!

Last but not least, is a comparison of the broken infinity symbols compared to a finished one, on an old choker I had made. The one on the choker has a black patina, which is an acid used to stain the metal. I may redo the choker someday so looks a bit cleaner, but as my first leather and bronze piece I'm still proud.
