how it all starts...
Well - almost! The majority of the Sixtensdotter pieces are carved from jewellery wax once I have settled on a sketch I have drawn. Wax carving is a meditative process for me and I can spend hours doing it. Some of my pieces are forged, in which case - I start working with the metal straight away. I only work with 100% recycled precious metals.
making the moulds...
Moving on to mould making. I make these two-part silicone moulds specifically for Lost Wax Casting, whereas for Sand Casting no moulds are needed as the wax can be reused. In Lost Wax Casting, the wax burns away so I need to be able to remake the wax again, which I do by injecting wax into this silicone mould.
