Pipe dreams

This blip is of a head I sculpted a few years ago. I love sculpting. I really want to do more. This head is done in ciment fondu from a clay original via a plaster cast. My ambition is to do Bronze casting -how exciting would that be!!!!

Note:
Ciment Fondu is a proprietary product made by Kerneos (previously Lafarge Aluminates) for industrial use but widely adopted by sculptors. It is a type of calcium aluminate cement used for constructing moulds or outdoor works. Typically ciment fondu needs to be used as a composite material reinforced with fibre glass, building up the mould in series of layers. Fast setting, it achieves its full strength in 24 hours.
