Cast Away


In Jewellery Design we are required to produce 10 production pieces. I have successfully cast 9.5 circles of fabric that will one day grow up to be pendants. These castings are a far cry from my original concept that I had purchased the gold for (I'm sure it will be used at some point this year ). I'm so surprised at the detail I was able to achieve - even my stitches though to the backing have come up in the castings. Above is the fabric before casting, and below it is what emerged from the process, in sterling silver.

  1. They look awesome!! I can't believe the detail! You know what would look brilliant?? If you cast flocked fabric. That would be amazing. I love the one in the bottom right hand corner.
