sand casting!

 got this kit from gesswein canada. it has everythingyou need except the torch. i tried melting silver a #7 tip on my smith little torch.it was taking way too long, so i purchased the big gunmelting tip. that sure did the job.not bad for my first try. (the moulds are a little cherubbutton and an 8mm ball-made 2 balls for a pair of studs)the cherub is missing his right wing. next time i willmake sure to add venting channels to the tips.  cast vs original the ball on the left was my first attempt (the metal was not hot enough).the one on the right is significantly better.after some clean up.all shined up. i ended up oxidizing it, but i'm not sureif i like it so i might end up polishing most of it off.[...]

updating my blog or website is as unnatural to me as putting needles in my eyes. however, i'm going to try harder as i have recently acquired a laptop and can blob (yes blob) from hipster cafes around toronto while making obnoxious judgemental comments about people in said cafes. win, win. this post is a summary of my summer so far. kinda makes it look like i actually do more than watch netflix on a nightly basis. yay for being able to create your ideal life online.new dudes in the worksblock printingfun sewing classes at the workroomneedle felting (aka finger torture)after an 8 yr break my jewellers bench is set up againthe funereal quilt project (that's what i'm calling itbecause i started it 15 yrs ago,and i figure at this rate it'll be done by the time i'mon my death bed-as long as i live to be 175...)more fun sewing classes at the workroomwith Laurie (her pouch is the one on the right,love that fabric)managed a trip to Montreal last month. saw a mind blowing exhibition by the Chapman Brothersat the DHC/ART Foundation for Contemporary Art.yellow tote by Mark Laliberte.and finally here i am trying to figure out the above mentioned laptop..it's not going well due to my allergy to technology. computer technology anyway.[...]

the sculpting has a a bit of a stand-still lately. i've been making little gauche paintings instead. booking a show for the fall. i think a deadline is needed.
