Numbers cut from sprue and cleaned up with minimal metal chasing and hand filing (props Manuel)-preserving all the original wax texture, junction details etc. Next is getting threads tapped and brass hang rods attached-then patina and Ready For The House.

The wax house numbers gated and in shell stage at the foundry-the first layers of shell are super fine and painted on to pick up all the detail, subsequent layers are dipped to form a thick casing which is fired, melting out the wax and producing an empty mold for the bronze pour.

Unstitched panels from a Sioux indian pouch, early 20th century, beautiful handiwork & color combinations-from Rose Bowl yesterday.

I made these house numbers in wax doweling (freewheeling the font) during foundry lunch break today-to be cast in bronze-tapped and fixed to the house with brass pins....more details if they survive the fiery furnace.
