Weekend work

[marelton]

I thought I'd try a some new materials as another experiment. I managed to get my hands on some Roe deer antler and also found some Polymer plastic modeling clay in the local craft shop.

I coated the clay with CA to get a shine after baking, turning and sanding. Turned out ok, but it's one for the kids I think.

The results you can see in the photos.

I used 5min epoxy mixed with metal powder for the centre band rings which turned out quite successful (using CA initially was a messy disaster!).

The good thing is I'm learning all the time and having a great time.
