I used a different kind of wax to cats the bands from this time, as the paraffin wax was far too brittle. This is a type of modelling wax with beeswax in, so is far more flexible. However, this is the only band that worked out, as the other ones still snapped :( It had to be a bangle instead of a ring as there was no way the wax was going to bend enough. |

| Wax casts of the clay flies in the post below. The top image shows how they looked when they came out of the mold, the next two have had graphite powder brushed onto them, giving them metallic sheen. I tried heating up one of the casts earlier, but unfortunately this paraffin wax doesn't seem to be flexible enough, and it snapped, so when I get the chance I might try again with beeswax or something similar. |
