wow, thanks you guys. i'm having a lot of fun making them.

mike, the tendrils on the purse are cast that way. the mold is very complicated. of course, all metal casting is very easy on the scale of easy to difficult. :P

it's just gotten back in my hands after having a hard rubber mold made. i don't have a vulcanizer yet. my jeweler fried freaked out cutting the mold open. har!

the hardest part is polishing it. i made a mold because i've only seen one of these for sale in the entire world. it's only available in the UK. i'm hoping there's some ocean loving people that like the organic flow of this that may buy a piece of art.

anyway, it's always nice to see people appreciate my work. rock on!!
