work in progress



This is Llyod Le Blanc putting finishing touches to Lizzie, this guy is a great sculptor himself and is extremely knowledgeable about bronze casting; having set up and run several foundries in his native Canada and over here in the UK. He is now based just outside Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, have a look at www.leblancfineart.com
The photos above show the piece being metal-worked and having the final patination applied so that it looks a bit like an old penny - alchemy or what!
