Black Widow – Final
Hi folks. I’m back! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and that 2016 will be a fantastic year for everyone! I thought I would show you what’s on my workbench for this winter. I have a one day show or sale coming up on March 19 in Kelowna, BC that I […]
Black Widow – Assembly
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, or Magic Winter Solstice, or if none of these fit at least have a hot or cold beverage to cheer you up. I have mostly finished all the metal work on my Spy Lady, except for the silver chain around her hips. I haven’t yet decided if I want […]
Black Widow – Casting
So, here are my casting results. The first picture shows my four flasks after they come out of the kiln when the wax is melted. The flasks are set on a rack in a pan and heated to 150 C for two to three hours in that blue thing (the kiln) on the bench. The wax […]

Black Widow – Silicone Mould
Someone said that I had a wonderful workspace and that they’d love to have as much room to make a mess! Yes, my workspace was originally the previous house owner’s wine room. He was an Italian barber, and one thing about Italy is that the whole boot is supposedly overflowing with wine. I think it […]
Black Widow – Introduction
Someone recently said that I should do a bronze cast of 7 of 9 from the Star Trek: Voyager series. Apparently, she was the reason many watched the show? I was told that if I was to cast her in bronze then people would buy her. But, I’ve never found a resin kit of this […]
