| Playboy
Magazine Recommends ArtMolds Kit |
|
| A
few weeks back we wondered why we were receiving a sudden
surge in orders for the Intimate Kit. Then a customer called
to say that they had read about us in Playboy Magazine. To
our delight we discovered that the August 2001 issue of
Playboy featured ArtMolds in Playboy Advisor on page 45.
It's nice to be noticed.

| How
To Build A One-Man Bronze Foundry For Under $6,000! |
|
| All
sculpture leads to bronze - rather most sculptors feel they
have arrived when they have produced their first bronze
casting. But the expense! Yes, it is expensive. Yet there
are more collectors looking for bronzes than plaster, cold
cast or resin.
Foundry man, lifecaster, author and artisan Dan Butler
shows us how to build a one-man bronze foundry for less than
$6,000. Even if you have no desire to build a foundry, Dan's
interesting article teaches the newcomer how to prepare a
lifecasting sculpture to be poured in hot foundry bronze. It
is a great read. Enjoy for yourself.
