Every now and then I have to mention that there is a complete collection of Zadar Miniatures for sale. Every piece from number one to current number 203. This collection is from the beginning in 1994 to current pieces. These are serial number 5. This collection is for the serious art collector or a museum collection. You will not find a complete collection like this offered. Contact me for more information. Serious inquires only; this is a high-ticket collection. Will not separate pieces.
Hi, I saw this cool video on YouTube of casting a bronze sword in the ancient way. I thought it was interesting. Amazing discovery of adding tin to copper to make bronze. The bronze is so much stronger than just copper. I know after working with the stuff for about 20 years, it is a wonderful metal and absolutely perfect for sculpture. I love the stuff. I will be posting more information about bronze casting in the future. Check this out:

I decided to give a sneak peak to collectors of the next three new releases from the studio. The first of the three I am working on now will be ready in mid to late August 2012. This piece is called Street Artist. I started work on this piece about three years ago and then put it away. Sometimes I start pieces then let them sit until the time seems right to release them.
The theme of this piece is an artist painting a picture while sitting on some steps along a street somewhere like Venice. The painting is of a boat so he is possibly near some water. To me it seems like he is selling these paintings to tourists.
I really like the body language of this piece. The inspiration came from an old capodimonte porcelain figurine that I have always liked. I really enjoy the way he is holding his brush while he checks his work on his painting.
If you enjoy art and support artists, this will be a special piece for your collection. Limited edition of 75 pieces, issue price is $125.00. Cast in Bronze and hand-painted. Available in mid to late August. Please visit www.zadarstudios.com to reserve one today.
The next new release is called, Miss Lexie. I named this piece after my daughter Alexis. The piece features an elegant girl in a beautiful dress. I really like the detail and coloration of this piece. The piece has a very delicate look and will display great in your collection or miniature setting.
The piece is a limited edition of 75 pieces. Issue price is $75.00 and available in early September 2012. The piece stands at 7/8 of an inch. Cast in bronze and hand-painted. For ordering information, go to www.zadarstudios.com
Thanks for looking,

The third new release is called Merry Christmas. This fun piece features Santa Claus popping out of the chimney with his arms out wide, celebrating Christmas. I really like the action of this piece and it is very eye catching.
I have been recently trying to make pieces in time for seasonal events, which is hard to always have them, ready in time. This piece will be ready in October 2012 so there is plenty of time to order one as a gift for you or someone else. The piece looks great in a collection or miniature setting.
Produced in a limited edition of 75 pieces. Issue price is $75.00. Cast in bronze and hand-painted. For ordering information, please visit www.zadarstudios.com.
I just released a new miniature figurine titled, "Summer Breeze." I just love this piece. The idea came from an old Art Deco bronze I saw in a catalog years ago by Louis Justin Icart. The piece features a young lady holding up her bicycle against a gentle summer breeze.
"Summer Breeze"
Bronze-Cast and Hand-Painted
3/4 Inch Tall. Limited Edition of 82 Signed and Numbered Pieces
My version of the piece is somewhat different and that makes it more my style of work. Plus the original was in bronze so the coloration was a factor in design. The piece still has the Art Deco flavor that makes it very cool.
Her bicycle also has a basket of flowers. I just love the coloration and pose of this new miniature bronze figurine. I hope you decide to add it to your collection. Below is a 30 second narrated video of the piece. Enjoy....
