Couple of older projects I love.
'Aviator'
Plaster
This was also in a fire. Tricky. For it being made out of plaster and originally white and after a fire it's hard to get it looking white again. Not that I wanted to get it completely white or clean. It has to have some patina on it anyway. I had no idea how it looked before the fire so I tried to go gently and do what I can. I think I did pretty good and most of all, owners were happy!

'Appeal to the Great Spirit'
Bronze
This piece had been in a fire so you can't see all that much in the pictures. But the before picture is pretty much just covered in blackness. And after cleaning it gently you can see the original color of the bronze. Great piece to work on.
