Have you seen pics of Mr Bond's mokume bowl?

Medusa your pic reminds me of these:
Keyrings by kwant, on Flickr
Which were made from the molten remains of the engine block of a BMW belonging to a friend, which caught fire on my terrace some time back. By the time the fire brigade came there was not much left, but I saw these blobs and thought hmmm.............. the owner of the car was not best pleased at first but came to like the one I gave him to keep the key to his garden shed on, where he kept his mower as he did not now have a car :0)
Not perhaps quite what you were looking for as a result - can you walk through how you did it?
I'd hazard a guess at too hot, too long and too oxidising, probably torch fired?
My life is one long debugging session
I have... it's sort of what inspired me!
oooh pretty! i used to hang out at a foundry in Poplar back in the day and I was always grabbing the bits of bronze that splashed out. Yours remind me more of the now infamous 'pearl' necklace from a time ago...
I sandwiched copper and silver together (but I think the copper was really too thin) and then made an 'oven' out of charcoal blocks and added heat first from my little torch and then using my proxxon. I think for sure too hot and too long. I don't have any charcoal blocks left now. I do have an old kiln but not sure it would get hot enough.
I'm wondering now I have a very copper rich alloy of silver, could I melt it down and use it for reticulation?
