Thanks so much! Have been on holiday for a while.
Back to the grindstone eh?
Well not really, when this sort of work is so much fun.

Nice... Love the spontaniousness of the organic flavour in jewelry. Seems the correct way sometimes to create according to nature.

This is lovely! I love organic pieces!
I have only done sand casts myself, and want to try cuttlefish!
Can you use the mold several times or is it lost?

Beautiful piece!

Thank you!!
I am the opposite, have only done cuttlefish casting and would love to try sand one day.
Using the cuttlefish for a second casting is possible with extreme care but the burnt design looses definition.
I use a back-plate for most castings if a flat back to the work is suitable. Saves on cuttlefish and produces a smoother finish. Here is a picture for you. [link] of a jellyfish.
