Patina is a colored chemical [acid] that is put on the polished bronze metal to give the piece it's final coloration.
What is meant by the lost wax process?
There are actually 29 steps to completion of a finished piece. The lost wax process takes the original sculpture from casting to final. This website shows 14 main steps but does not note all the steps in between. http://www.baerbronze.com/process.html and

This process makes each piece individual as they are individually made.
How did you choose your edition size?
I wanted to make it bigger than 12 and smaller than 50. I thought of 26 when I started then decided to do some edition sizes 36.
Will you take payments?
Yes, I set up a payment schedule for 10-12 months. I do not charge interest. Once the piece is paid for the customer receives their piece.
