Pewter Star of David and sting ray pendant

I finally figured out how to create a Star of David pendant with a one part mold, the secret is carving it on a disk before casting. Also I made a large stingray pendant. #art #pewter #traditionalart #pewtersmithing #pewtersmith #artist #metalcasting #homemadeart #folkart

It actually casted really well and you can’t see the details well yet in this photo because it’s so shiny and new but 90 percent of the detail was captured and it’s now a really pretty pin. #art #pewtersmithing #traditionalart #pewtersmith

I made a long sword pendant! #art #pewtercasting #pewtersmithing

To my delighted shock these last two toothy Bali tigers are going to their new homes today!

I haven’t given up on pewter, but the changing world has made luxuries harder to justify making. But maybe my pewter still has a place in the world. #art #jewelry #metalsmithing #pewtersmithing #pewtersmith
