The clay, instructions and a small crucible for melting metal. |
The mold together. This is just after I've poured the silver. |
The mold pieces separated. You can barely see any metal peeking through. A beginner's mistake: I almost didn't use enough silver. |
Here I've turned over the top of the mold and you can see the casting and the burned clay in the bottom. |
The shell I used as a model with the casting. |
Removed from the mold. This shell casting is almost a full ounce of silver! |

Yeah for casting, I am into anything that has instant gratification! Love the shell.
