Today’s offering (early morning no less because it is so easy!) is a cast focal for a necklace. I used 2 dragonfly buttons to cast, along with a spiral shell bead. I build a little mound to make an integral hole to attach it to the necklace. If I’m focused (big if some days), I’ll get this made into a necklace before the end of the month.
The metal, torch melted in a small crucible, is unleaded solder.
It takes a few minutes for the solder to cool. Then I paint it with Silver Magic.
0000 steel wool cleans it off and it’s ready to go!

Gorgeous! Love dragonflies. This turned out just beautifully. 🙂
You amaze me with your many, many talents. This is something I don’t foresee being able to do, because I don’t have the equipment. However, I am in LOVE with the finished piece, as well as your showing the process. You truly know what you are doing with this, because this turned out great!
WOW! I’m hooked. I’m gonna try this. Thank you for sharing the process. Gorgeous piece!

Very Cool. Thanks for sharing the process.
Stay inspired!
