Casting

Casting is another way of mass production of jewellery. We were given a rubber mold which had a negative space of cross inside. The rubber mold was injected with hot wax to fill the negative space of the cross. This mold is used to repeat the element in a short time. After that I made a tree as you can see figure 1 below.  

Figure 1

When the tree is ready, I prepared the investment to fill the flask with a tree inside and wait for it to dry, so that it can go to the kiln. 

Figure 2 

In figure 2 is where the tree was cast using silver metal. With the cast crosses I was thinking of adding a rose in the centre so that it can go with my B-tech theme.
