Ocarina (”sweet potato” flute)

Gary’s taking a short break from his figurative sculpture to work on these new bronze ocarinas. Inspired by his 16 year old son Bly, who made him one out of ceramic clay while visiting this past summer, Gary decided to try some in bronze.

Here’s the close-up. This one is the first in the Astrological series, obviously representing Leo, in honor of Bly. All other signs will follow (any requests?!).
