Soooo, i don’t usually post work related pictures but...

A customer came in with an unusual request about a month ago. He wanted a two and a half inch tall silver replica of the Gayer-Anderson Cat (a statue dedicated to Bastet currently held in the british museum :P) for his wife for their anniversary. So, being the resident animal carving specialist of the shop, i was the one who ended up taking on the task. It was one of the cooler jobs i’ve gotten to do and the finished product ended up being something i’m actually very proud of.

The statue is hollowed out inside but still ended up being about four ounces of silver, with sapphires set in the eyes, a satin finish from the pin finisher and antiquing applied to the details so they’d stand out a little more.

Progress pics under the cut.

started as a hunk of wax that i sawed out the general silhouette of the cat

gradually carved out the contours of the back, shoulders, and legs and added the tail

getting the shape of the face and ears right took the longest time and the most little adjustments to get it looking right. I spent many hours looking back and forth from my reference pictures to my microscope.

the wax weighed too much to cast all together so i had to cut it into four parts and cast it over the course of several days. the red wax is called the sprue and is the channel the metal will flow through during casting. It has to create a clear path all the way to the finer details of the pieces.

I cleaned up the castings separately before soldering them together. The bottom half in the above picture was three pieces reassembled and the top pieces are fresh from being cast.

Once everything was put together i shined it up nice and bright and added the gold piercings.

then put it in the pin finisher before putting the sapphires in the eyes because steel pins and sapphires don’t mix well

And then the finishing touches. The antiquing was done by hand with a sharpened bamboo stick to draw the liver of sulfur along all the lines around the neck and face. and i spent about another hour just trying to put the eyes in so they wouldn’t look walleyed or anything. from start to finish it probably took me anywhere from 20 to 30 hours? I lost track honestly after 15...

i think one of the things missing from some horror media where people get turned into other stuff (monsters, furniture, buildings, machines) is that when we do this ourselves we make beautiful elegant things for the most part. We aren't manically laughing while turning a tree into a horrible shredded stick bench. Its simply just work or we're taking great care in shaping it into something really precious and visually beautiful. Which i think that element adds a lot to both the horror and reality of the situation.

#if its by something with intelligence i think typically this would be a good approach #if its some just amorphous thing with no sentience turning people into goop or whatever you can do whatever really #but i think a brainless goop making gorgeous sculptures out of human bodies would be pretty cool
