My Journey in Technique

This blog chronicles my journey through the book "The Workbench Guide to Jewelry Techniques" by Anastasia Young. I am a self-taught studio jeweler and I am in need of some technical training to be able to complete some of my ideas. I will document my learning process here.

You can join me either by following or by completing the techniques and sharing your process here. I hope you will join me! Please note: all page numbers refer to the book by Anastasia Young.

Cuttlefish Casting - Free Casting

Today's Technique

Free Casting into Cuttlefish Bone

(not in the book)

For this technique, the steps and materials are the same as last week - mostly! The main difference is that you will not secure your cuttlefish bone to a fire brick - you will slowly and carefully pour directly into your carved cuttlefish bone.

This is a bonus post of sorts - this idea came about while working on the post from last week and so I have decided to add a bonus technique!

To see the steps and materials - please visit the post from last week ...

This post is all about the pictures - enjoy!!
