Having so much fun putting together some organic water cast pendants. Water casting entails literally melting the metal (silver and gold) and carefully dripping it into a big water bucket where it instantly solidifies. I love that you can slightly influence how they'll turn out, but you can't ultimately have much say. A small glimpse of chaos theory in action.
So... about the Etsy situation. I've decided to pull all my traditionally cast pieces so I don't have to deal with their bureaucracy. I've left up my fabricated pieces and some of my quick cast (water, cuttlebone, charcoal) will be up there as well. I should have these guys (above) up within the next few days.
I've been accepted into Amazon Handmade, and I hope, hope, hope to find the time to get all my pieces (traditionally cast or otherwise) up there on the site within the next two weeks. Boy, do I need an assistant!!
