The process of creation

What started as an idea, or a glimpse of the possible, becomes a sketch, or a color drawing, or a computer rendering.

From there the work begins. A wax model is made, approved, and then invested in plaster and cast in precious metal. Alternately, the piece may be  "fabricated" or hammered, formed and shaped, or bend from a sheet of precious metal.

Stones are set, and the work of art is further perfected. Much time is taken in this process.

The final goal of the entire process is perfection. The eyes and the soul are satisfied.
