~cnc!!!~
step 2: cnc wax mold
3d rhino model of the wax mold to be cnc'd
step 3: wax mold --> silicone mold
no photos of just the mold but you'll see in next step (:
step 4: silicone mold --> earrings!!
cast with metal; earring backs soldered on
step 5: reflect
what worked well:
- lowkey the earrings are kinda cute and can actually wear
what didn't :(
- soooo hard to pour the hot metal
- put the two earrings too close together in my mold :(
- had to solder the two earrings apart... caused some different textures in the earrings
- was supposed to be asymmetrical, but after the soldering the left one was a lil stubbier than i wanted
