CANDLES AND GHOSTS

They are finally here- the new patinas I ordered.  I’ve been wanting to show you the progress I’ve made on the new piece, but I’ve been waiting on these patinas to arrive for about 10 days.

What makes these so special is that they are non-toxic, very low VOC, and environmentally friendly.  This was always an important issue to me, but is even more important now that Jeremia is sharing his days with me out in the studio.

Not that I think I’ll be letting him near any of my chemicals anytime soon, but the less I can expose us to the better.  The company that sells these is Sculpt Nouveau out of California, and while not everything they sell is completely non-toxic, they do take that route as often as possible.

In the meantime while I’m finishing up this piece, I have also been working on two others that I am really excited about.  I will begin documenting their progress starting tomorrow.  I am also almost finished with the photography of all the other pieces, and should have photos of them up soon.
