after doing a little research i'm going to set a price on the silver pieces. they will be $45US. they weigh about an ounce and take an hour to cast and finish. gold ones will be available by custom order. i plan on making a mold with the back hollowed out to cut down on the weight and cost. those will be priced based on the price of gold. resin ones will be $500 now as they are no longer available. :D |

beautiful stuff, perry. I love my resin one, but I think that carving really looks much better cast in metal. Are they too heavy for earings? 'cause they'd make a great pair.
woopie!!!! Who's the first taker?!?!?!? :wink: |

thanks, guys. i really wish they'd work as earrings. unfortunately they're facing one way. i think it may look odd with one facing back into the hair. maybe i'll do another one facing the other way. i wish i knew how to do that without carving it. they may be too heavy in the white metals right now. i could always do a custom cast. |

well, i got a little compulsive with the first batch. they're all pretty smooth and look like chrome. they're actually real cool. i still want to do other finishes. there's still some of these available and i'll be making more. they're fun. here's a pic of my dirty hand from all the microscopic metal dust. |
