... and there's more..,.

I'm gonna have a crack at posting some piccies of previous results - here goes!!! (I guess the file sizes might be a bit of an ish, but here's trying...

Ahahahahhahahahaha! It worked! This was the second piece I cast year before last - its what's called a scratch block. Iron molds are usually formed from a resin bonded silica sand - basically forming a medium which is something in consistency like sandstone. Obviously you can use this medium in its 'wet' state (takes about 20 minutes to harden once mixed) to take a mold of a 3 dimensional object... Alternatively, you can set it into a block, and then use an implement to carve a design onto the face. Thats how this one was done, and rather chuffed was I with the results!
