Now that the Roman Ruins panel is essentially finished and needs to dry out slowly, I am ready to cast the wolf roundel st for a client in Brooklyn, NY who  plans to install it in the brick wall of his garage. I had to make a whole new mold of it due to the first mold’s rubber portion tearing far too easily and making it unusable. I had put off replacing the mold untill I had an order at hand for it since replacing a mold this size costs around $250 in materials and two days of work. Actually this set has two molds and the second mold should…

After another 3-4 hours work this evening I came to the last square inch on this model and now it’s finished! There will be a little more final cleaning up on it to do yet as it dries out. The clay is Continental course red clay with grog.  

I finally got back to this after letting it sit a while, it’s now kind of leather hard so I need to get the finishing done quickly. All the work I did today was on just the winged lion, hopefully tomorrow I can finish his front paws and get a substantial amount done on the other half.
