Cold cast bronze, also referred to as bronze resin, is a technique involving blending bronze powder with epoxy resin to produce a material which is applied to the interior of a silicone mould. Subsequent applications of this will produce a shell into which an armature (wire frame) can be constructed. The mould is then filled with a blend of resin and metal powders which are left to set. The mould is then dismantled and the casting removed. It is then rubbed back to reveal the bronze surface and this can then be patinated (coloured) using a variety of chemicals. Jade oil is used to secure the coloration and a fine application of pure beeswax results in a lustrous finish. 

This cold cast bronze piece is of a ninja warrior who is using his archery skills to devastating effect. His legs are not as strong as they once were, but his aim is still true. He fires at the guards of a castle tower that his cohorts (other ninja) are going to be storming. His bow will silence the guards before they can raise the alarm and his brothers will storm the castle without incident. Brave, brave warrior, we salute you. This piece stands 9 1/4" high.
