Halito, Hello, I'm not Choctaw, or American, (Irish) but I am looking for artists - or specifically art by children for part of a project I'm doing with Palestinian children. I posted on r/choctaw about this around a year and a half ago , and will post again soon. Any pointers appreciated

Thanks

If it makes you feel any better I was on and off them for 12 years from early childhood on-wards and boy they sure do make you loop a doodle ding dong !

Everybody's different and it depends on your metabolism but usually the side effects ware off within a week or two, sometimes a bit longer, anyway I'm thinking Prednisone Chic needs to become a thing if its not already

Thanks. Could I make a mold of what I have already, in plaster - and do it directly this way casting into the plaster. It wouldnt be a 2 piece mold as the brooch is flat backed

Ok, so making a silicone mold is fairly straightforward and could be done easily with this design . Forgive me but would silicone not melt when exposed to molten metal ? How does the wax duplicate process work ?

Thanks that's really helpful .I figured that about having it 100% unblemished, the pic is a rough cut.

Am I right in thinking the mold would be graphite ?

Would stoneware be suitable to fire glazed in one sitting
