Wax Models - Chain with clasp project and Metalmorphosis project

Wax models for the chain with clasp project are done. Sprued and invested.  The stone element has been obtained and is a 2mm amethyst that will be set after the piece is casted.   the chain terminations have been incorporated into the clasp itself and will be pinned in and soldered as a final step before stone setting.



The Metalmorphosis project is nearing readiness to invest as well.  It needs some more tweaking regarding the web element, but the spider is in place.  I am concerned regarding the amount of metal this piece will need and am considering what to use as the final medium.  Silver would be nice, but copper with strategic patina application could be quite dramatic as well.  Not a beautiful piece, but fitting the character of the organic element.
