    What will you turn this into?
    It is a brooch. The back is hollowed out for weight (weighs bout 35g, would be twice that if solid) The nice thing with casting is that can all be done at the wax stage. Then I soldered the pin and catch on (ended up a bit wonky as I had trouble with heating everything to soldering temp without melting anything so i won't show that bit)
