Eight years in the making! You can imagine how I felt yesterday, finally handing this sculpture over to Billy for mold making! What a milestone after eight years of work. It certainly helps to have the best in the business handling this next step! From the mold Billy creates, the bronze castings will finally come to life.

I posted a photo of this piece when it was still in clay and very much a work in progress. A couple of people liked it enough to send me a down payment for one when it became available in bronze.

Well… it took me so long to finish—not because I had neglected it, but because I simply could not figure out how to bring it to completion the way I saw it in my mind’s eye—that one of the would-be buyers eventually asked for their money back. Their message was something along the lines of, “We see you’re too busy to finish that piece.”

I sent the down payment back.

If only they knew how much I had actually worked, prayed, pulled my hair out, and even cried over this piece. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to make it right.

Eventually, feeling the pressure, I finished it. I cast it in bronze, sold a couple of them, and thought I was finally done.

Except… I wasn’t.

After looking at the bronze versions for a while, I decided the piece was still missing something. So I went back to the clay, reworked the face, and made another mold.

And that is how I ended up with two different versions of the same sculpture. The one you see here is the second version.

A few fun facts:

I now love both versions.

I titled them Patience 1 and Patience 2. You can probably guess why.

But here’s the funniest part.

I was still working on the first version when, more than two years after I had originally posted it on Facebook, I posted another progress shot.

A few minutes later, I got a call from one of the people who had originally put down a deposit on the piece.

I immediately thought, Oh boy. After two years, she’s finally calling to ask for her money back.

Instead, she said, “I really like that new piece of yours. I want to put down a deposit for when it’s finished.”

I started laughing.

Then I had to remind her:

“You already did.”

Two years earlier. 😄

This sculpture definitely taught me a little something about Patience!
