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. |

Spent hours modelling flies on thin bands of clay which will eventually (hopefully) resemble something of the ring designs in the post further down this page called 'fly'. I plan to cover these models in vinamold (silicone rubber that sets and keeps the model's shape), pick out the clay, then cast wax versions which will be flexible so can be bent round to form rings (or bangles if they turn out to be just a bit too big). |
