Details

Look at the finger, what do the details tell us.  The middle fingers have marks in them from molding the wax, the end of the index finger has grown smooth from contact.  The wax marks have been worn away by being touched hundreds of thousands of times.  I took an art class in college were we carved wax, and cast silver.

    1. I have about 40,000 photos, when I get started it is hard to stop. I generally will sit down on the weekend and create and schedule a week's worth of blog posts in a couple of hours. I am now doing a second blog -https://alexandriavadailyphoto.blogspot.com/

  4. I would have loved to take a sculpture/casting class. Mine was just sculpture. I would have paid for the silver... or bronze!
