3D bottle stoppers

[bitshird]

I think I'm getting a handle on making 3D bottle stoppers, Here are a few that I cast last night and turned today,

This one was done with a Chevron heart shaped bead and set on a AS stainless steel stopper

This was a flat pentagonal shape that looks like a real dice.

This was done with a glass milifiori( meaning thousand flower) glass bead that6's about 15 years old made in Italy these beads are hand made

This one has a sterling silver map of the great state of TEXAS, the sterling map shows great detail for being such a small piece, this can be seen in the second photo,

Now I have to figure out the proper way to take photos of these items and dusplay them, they really are fun to create, and I'm not trying to horn in on Ed Davidson's business this is just another thing I have fond that I can do easily I doubt if I will ever sell any blanks.
Please let me know what you think of my stoppers, all are done with AS 316 stainless for now, SOON i will e using the stoppers from RUTH

Very nice! I don't understand how you keep the good in side in place when you pour. I'm going to get into this part of the hobby soon. Really looks like fun
