Soliloquy II gets poured

I cut the pouring of Soliloquy II down to about a minute. There was actually a days worth of building the box and filling it with sand so the mold was pretty much covered, except for the top, which we set on fire when the bronze hits the side of the box. No danger, tho, the sand and fire brick around the mold keep the box from doing much. Check it out.

I've mentioned it before, but it's worth repeating; this was a recreation of a piece that was stolen from me a few years ago. My sculpture teacher, Ric Stewart, talked me into remaking it, even larger. He's the bearded Gent runnin' things.

This piece doesn't have that sense of movement of the original, but it was definitely gratifying getting it cast. I posted progress earlier, and will continue.
