Simple in design....big on texture!!!
<br />
<br />This fantastic tactile pendant in sterling silver has been cast using the ancient method of cuttlefish casting, I scraped out a mould from two halves of the inside a cuttlefish bone.....then melting down scrap sterling and pouring it into the mould. The method does create rather a stink in the workshop.....with the cuttlebone coming from the sea....ha ha!!! But it is well worth it, a fantastic way of recycling silver, and one of my favourite techniques.
