CAST BRONZE BEETLE
 
This cast is the largest beetle I have succesfully cast, and it has the most intricate detail I have seen on a cast so far. This cast is heavy, and surprisingly large when held in your hand. Additionally, due to the placement of the legs during mold making, the legs are very sturdy and have almost no risk of breaking over the years. 
 
Each cast is one of a kind and completely handmade, taking around 4-7 days total per cast. The lost wax process is five thousand years old and requires both mold making and bronze pouring all of which is done by the artist personally.
