Very interesting. How do you make those blanks?

They are made similar to the watch part pen blanks (which I also have casted). Instead of watch parts I started looking at other things. Cell phones, radios. Pretty much anything that might be of more use disassembled. I refer to mine as altered art due to using more variety of objects. I've done these with skulls and other themes as well.

Oh no I believe its a symptom all good casters get. My imagination does go wild at times and the wife believes I have inhaled too many fumes when I start talking about ideas. She just put me on a limit of blanks... I am gonna have to find more hiding spots..

Looking pretty good. I toyed with those brass charms you can see them HERE.

I first found mine at Michaels. Then found a much cheaper supplier on-line.

Keep up the good work.
