Proper magic

My wax makings turned into little copper and silver things via the magic of centrifugal casting. “Make the metal dance” was a specific instruction from the tutor as I applied a large flame to the scraps of old electrical wire which became the copper beads.  Now there’s the less magic cleaning and polishing to do.

Grumpy in progress

Me, painting with actual wet paint rather than pixels.  I suspect I won’t know when I’ve gone far enough until I’ve gone too far.
