Here's some pics of making the bronze fish spouts for the fountain. We did all the clay modeling and mold making here in my shop, then contracted the bronze castings to my friends across town.

Everyone was running tight on time that year, and there's always a deadline for the grand opening gala. So the fish shown in the first photo are actually a cold cast bronze done with resin and bronze powder. I love how they developed a natural patina over just a few months. Now the real bronze castings look just like this.
