G,day
Been doing a bit of hybrid casting lately .The first three are WA banksia cone screwtop boxes . The forth is a blackbut burl screwtop box .5 and 6 are a cotonyaster screwtop box with gumnuts .
7 and 8 are a bowl with sheoak cones .The gumnut box and sheoak bowl are inspired by Brenden Stemp's work .
The first is my favourite . I call it my jaguar box .I use a dental pick and compressed air to remove the seeds from the cone and I discovered that in this case , the air also removed the surrounding material so that the seed casing rim was about 1mm proud of the surface.
The resin is epoxy and the finish is polyurathane .
Comments welcome.
