Bronze belt buckles with different finishes
This is how they look like on a belt
Forged copper belt buckle and pendant set.
Now there are 3 different sizes available for this belt buckle. The small one works for up to 1-1/4 in. belt strap. The middle will be great for 1-1/2 in. belt strap. The large one can be made for anything up to 2-1/2 in.
I finally opened my etsy store. So fare 7 belt buckles are listed. It takes some time to put all the info together and create the post.

Here are the first few images of a new set of belt buckles. Bronze castings for 1.5 inch belt straps.
Here are new wax models for belt buckles. I hope I get them cast in bronze in a few weeks.

These belt buckles are pieces of art, created for people that enjoy expressing themselves through beauty and love to wear hand made pieces to reflect their individuality. Many steps are involved to create them.
My first models for these belt buckles I sculpted in plasteline. But plasteline is too soft to use as a model in sand casting. Wax on the other hand is hard enough. So I made a mold of the plasteline sculptures and cast wax into it. Recently I carve the new sculptures directly in wax.
The video below shows the casting process in detail.
