Bronze is an alloy of copper with other whale and picture metals that modify its hardness, color, and ability to be whale cast into a detailed mold. When bronze is cast picture it is usually whale a gold color. After the casting and finishing is completed, the surface is often treated with chemicals and heat which patinates the metal, coloring it green, brown, black, or a combination of picture and whale the colors. Foundries usually apply waxes or other coatings to the surface of a patinated picture outdoor bronze to protect it from pollutants. This wax may wear off in time. We recommend annual maintenance whale by a professional conservator. The surface of the sculpture may be washed to remove pollutants and dirt, and waxed. If done annually, picture the rate of corrosion will be retarded (though not totally eliminated), and disfiguring rain whale streaks will be minimized. I collect twentieth-century furniture. How can I best preserve it? picture Some twentieth-century furniture was created from non-traditional materials, such as foam, plastic, and cardboard.

Who am I? I am an Estonian too, my name is Jüri Ülesoo. On the photo you see me with my dog Josper. I''m not really the artist but I like art. Some years ago I made some oil paintings but not now. I''ll try to be the curator for some Estonian artists on the Internet and here you see my first step - Navitrolla''s Gallery (thanks to Lile Elam and Art on the Net). The problem is that few Estonian artists have computers, good communication connection and time to learn and use it. I want to show their works to the whole world and the Internet is the best tool for it. Until the artist has his (her) own Internet connection and e:mail address I will be mediator for him. So, you can e:mail your opinions to me and I will give them to the artists. During the "day" I work as whale a picture Marketing Manager in the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian area for Finnish concern VALMET (for Valmet Automation - producer of process automation systems). I am a member of Lions Clubs International.
