Pour cette sculpture j'ai utilisé un ancien vase en bronze que j'ai modifié
For this sculpture I used an old bronze vase that I modified
L'idée est d'insérer une tête de mort dans le corps du vase . Un crâne en taille réelle convient mais il me faut modifier le vase car il n'est pas bien proportionné. Il a fallu le couper en deux et le surélever légèrement. Le crâne viendra cacher la partie manquante. Un système de fixation par pattes a été nécessaire également pour tenir solidement les deux parties.
La partie basse du vase avec le crâne en cours de montage:
The idea is to insert a skull into the body of the vase. A skull in full size is suitable but I have to modify the vase because it is not well proportioned. It had to be cut in half and raised slightly. The skull will hide the missing part. A fastening system was also required to securely hold both parts.
The lower part of the vase with the skull being assembled:
Le vase avec sa partie haute:
The vase with its high part:
La difficulté suivante est de fixer le bouquet de fleurs sur le vase. Je n'ai pas fait suffisamment de photos pour montrer toutes les étapes du travail mais voici le bouquet démonté et peint en blanc:
The next difficulty is to fix the bouquet of flowers on the vase. I have not took enough photos to show all the stages of work but here is the bouquet disassembled and painted in white:
C'est sur ce bouquet que vont être fixés les petits crânes. Ils vont remplacer les ampoules qui étaient placées un peu partout dans ce bouquet qui était en fait à l'époque une lampe.
Reste à fabriquer les petits crânes , ils ont été fondus en bronze par le procédé à la cire perdue à partir d'un modèle que j'avais déjà réalisé et dont j'ai parlé précédemment dans ce sujet: Tiny skull bronze sculpture
Ces petits crânes seront modifiés.La machoire inférieure qui est solidaire du reste du crâne sur le modèle original est séparée, ceci afin de pouvoir donner à chaque crâne une expression différente selon la façon dont cette machoire est soudée, plus ou moins ouverte. Ils sont également coupés en deux, seule la face avant est utilisée, chaque crâne etant soudé sur une fleur.
It is on this bouquet that will be fixed small skulls. They will replace the bulbs that were placed everywhere in this bouquet that was in fact a lamp at the time.
It remains to make small skulls, they were melted in bronze by the lost wax process from a model that I had already realized and which I mentioned earlier in this topic: Tiny skull bronze sculpture
These small skulls will be modified. The lower jaw which is integral with the rest of the skull on the original model is separated, in order to be able to give each skull a different expression depending on how this jaw is welded, more or less open. They are also cut in half, only the front is used, each skull being welded on a flower.
Video of casting wax skulls:

Les crânes sont ensuite coupés en deux et les mâchoires séparées, on voit sur cette photo la casserole de cire et quelques exemplaires prêts pour aller à la fonderie:
The skulls are then cut in half and the jaws separated, we see in this picture the pot of wax and some copies ready to go to the foundry:
Les crânes sont ensuite donnés au fondeur qui va transformer cette cire en bronze (Procédé de la fonte à cire perdue)
Il y a ensuite encore un peu de travail d'assemblage sur les petits cranes. Il faut préparer les orbites dans lesquelles sont soudées des demi spheres en filigrane:
The skulls are then transformed into bronze (lost wax casting process)
Then there is still some assembly work on the small skulls. The orbits in which filigree half spheres are welded must be prepared:
Puis les deux os lateraux de protection de la machoire inférieure sont soudés.
La machoire inférieure est rapportée également
Puis l'ensemble est soudé sur les fleurs
Then the two lateral protection bones of the lower jaw are welded.
The lower jaw is reported also
Then the whole is welded on the flowers

Merci steamkeupon, le choix de la finition est toujours délicat. Le blanc est une des finitions que je préfère.
