Blossoming
Artist: Samson Mukohwa
Green Opal from Zimbabwe
Process: My client received the sculpture in 2 pieces when it was shipped. My intention was to keep the piece as the artist intended. Because of the crack & per the clients request we use the Japanese method of Kintsukuroi, (adding gold to cracks in ceramic bowls). I added a base fabricated from Wenga an African hardwood & stained it with an Ebony. I wanted to add stability to the sculpture without taking anything away from the esthetics. The following photos are start to finish.
Leap Frog Bronze
Artist Unknown
This is a bronze restoration. The original bronze was a sand casting. The issue was the sand core was never removed from the casting. Over time with condensation and freezing temperatures the bronze cracked in various locations. I couldn't weld the cracks without removing the sand. So, I had to cut the bronze open, remove the sand and reweld the bronze back together. These photos show the before and after. They also show how I cut the bronze and how much sand was removed.
