Glass for my frames.

I have been a busy little bee, making my brass frames to encase some glass and brass hexagonal' shapes.

These will eventually be long pendants :)

here they are fresh from casting :)

Great news

Got some great news yesterday.
I sent of some more card and wax pieces to get cast, just to be sure that they worked again and the first one wasn't just a fluke.

AND....

they worked again!

I sent three pieces off, a small one for possible earrings, a ring and a curved piece.

I will upload photos tomorrow :)
and hoping to send a range of rings off on friday. Some to be cast in silver and some in brass!

:)

its all about the chunky rings...(card and beeswax, to be cast into silver)

Card and beeswax... lets get these into silver!

ring time.

I have sent a few more pieces to be cast...
card and beeswax.

im now looking to create a range of rings using the lost wax casting process.

more of the natural stuff...

A few photos to show the intricacy of what the bees really do make themselves... beautiful.
