Had a toll that a gentleman asked for a couple loafs instead of the button.
Well, the only time I have used a mold was when I poured silver into a V mold.... Needless to say, it took a few tries to get them to even look this good. (The first tries were sorry, very very sorry..)
Anyways..
The button..
The loafers
These were poured into a quarter ozt mold, so, the cup overfloweth a bit, but that was requested, and I do as I'm told.
One of my mapp torches ran out of fuel, so it was a bit difficult keeping the graphite mold up to temp with just one, but, I finally got a decent and workable loaf (they will be made into pendants).
The color tone looks much darker in the pictures than they really are.
Im sitting on my porch, underneath a red umbrella.
There is a couple small spots that have borax on the loaf still, but, other than that, I think they look okay. But, Im much more partial to the pipe of a good button.
..one last picture with the flash. (Its cloudy out)
