In fact, I am cooking up some stainless steel Tiki shot glasses! They will be lost wax cast - not sand cast. I'll post pictures as they take shape, of course!

that's how i did the moai - lost wax from a silica/ceramic shell. the wax was actually slush-cast in a rubber mold i made from a plasteline original sculpt, though (whew). i'm can't wait to see your shot glasses!
