Armored Heart Project

This is the final finished piece that came from the wax model which was so big that it had to be cut into 3 separate pieces in order to cast.

Anatomically correct with the concept being something like a suit of armor or a car engine. I antiqued the leather a bit so that it would have a kind of ancient feel to it. It gets attached to clothing via magnets & is worn in the center of the chest. This piece will continue to evolve a little bit more in the next month or so, into a neck piece I think. The pewter side is the side of the heart where deoxygenated blood pumps into from the body, and the brass side is where oxygenated blood pumps out of & back into the body.
