Ireland/Foundry

I was informed recently that I have been chosen as a finalist for another piece in Ireland. Our first experience in the fall going to Ireland to unveil two pieces was a great success and a trip I won't soon forget. To be selected as a finalist for an even larger monument is very exciting. I have created a wax model of my design which will be cast in bronze and then delivered to the Emerald Isle.
Keep your fingers crossed, even though I have been selected as a finalist I know the competition will be up to snuff and Irish to boot! I suspect the final decision will be announced sometime in September.
Meanwhile I stopped by Campbell Plaster & Iron (a bronze foundry go figure) to drop off some work and pick up some work and my buddy the owner Glenn Campbell and his first mate Keith MacIntyre were getting ready to pour some bronze.......















I have been no more than a medium, as it were.

Wow what a warm summer day to be around molten bronze!

And as your wife I must say that I am proud of you beyond words concerning you being a finalist for the piece in Limrick. But not surprised in the least.
