    Default Turned My First ............

    PR Shredded Canadian Money that I cast last week with a Titanium Gold Cigar.
    Polished the Brass Tubes to get the brass color of our Loonie.
    Finished with 400 grit, buffed with super fine steel wool and polished with Hut's Ultra Gloss.

    As always comments and or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks for looking.

    Les

    The loony is the 1 dollar coin, so called because it has loons on the reverse side. If we followed the same logic here, our 1 dollar might be called a Skippy....

    Using shredded currency brings new meaning to "spare no expense" .

    Actually brings back memories of my 1st real job - destroying old banknotes at the Bank of Canada. We used a hollow drill to drill a few holes in the packs of notes before they were burned. At the end of the day there was a bag full of very interesting looking confetti. Would have worked well for this, if you could have gotten any past security.
