been working on getting the casting up and running. lot's of equipment, supplies, time and talent involved. i'm lucky to have a good friend who's into it with me. we've been learning a lot, especially since all of it is from just reading books and the internet. oh, there's that whole "trial and error" thing, too. things are starting to come together,though.

i don't know what made me decide to add about 10 lengthy steps to my carving process. oh, well. i started with a couple that i already had poured moulds for. i'm using lost wax mostly with a little sand casting thrown in just for fun.

hope everyone is doing great!

mahalo!
