As some of you will be aware, SWMBO is of a somewhat artistic bent (despite also being a Chartered Physicist) and she recently decided that a weekend course in bronze casting would be a rather jolly thing to do.
We are fortunate that there is a foundry within a couple of miles of us and so off she went.
We had visited the Tamar Otter & Wildlife Centre some time ago (sadly now permanently closed due to the blasted Covid) and she used one of her photos from that visit as the basis for her sculpture - an otter cradling his favourite stone. The finished item is about 4.5" long head to tail.
I reckon it came out pretty well.
