Rosewood from Rockler



Electroformed wax models



Carved Balsa model


Basswood and cherry models








Plastic Spoon  models!!
Altered with  clay and then cast in plaster mold


Plastic spoons after I made plaster molds.  Each Plastic spoon was  enhanced with clay and then  molded. 

I used purple carving  injection wax to  pour each mold.  
The injection wax was better to carve but still sticky. 



possible layout for brooch









As of now I have made 6 master waxes to be molded again and cast in plastic



Plastic reside from pouring. I think it looks rad.
