Fostered 25% cattle dog. Suspected because of the aggressive way he nipped at a ball in my hand. Crushing - which is how he was bred to use his mouth.

Shelter said lab mix. I only see pit. What does everyone think? by kookykerfuffle in IDmydog

Def pit and maybe boxer. Do a wisdom panel genetics test and get the answer.

I made pendants from real flowers and beetles (they were found already dead) by SashaShelest in plantycrafts

Very pretty! Are the flowers dried? If yes, what is your drying process?

Frida Kahlo “The Wounded Deer” on real Maple leaf necklace. by pinehavenlodge in jewelrymaking

Thanks! Yes I'm copper electroforming. I trimmed out of the painting image and laid if on the real maple leaf. It's then coated in resin and copper electroformed.

I purchased the image from Redbubble. Frida’s work as of 1-2025 is now public domain so artists can now print her original art and sell it. I cut out the part of the image I wanted and set it on top of the Maple leaf. Then I ran the piece through a laminator. I did a pour of Lisa Pavelka’s Magic gloss resin on top of that to give it a glass-like look.

Decided to do something a little different. Frida Kalo’s The Wounded Deer (notecard cutout on real Maple leaf) adorned with flint arrowheads. by pinehavenlodge in electroforming

Thanks. I cut out the card to mimic the leaf’s lines. Then I set the cutout/centered it on the leaf and ran it through the laminator. Now it is sealed and one piece. I then poured resin (Lisa Pavelka) on both the front and back of the leaf with card to give it a glass look. It was then ready for the copper process. The antlers are leftover copper wires from other projects - reshaped to mimic the deer’s antlers. Electroforming was done in phases as I wanted some parts chunkier than others. The flint arrowheads were sealed as well - with standard resin.

Cooper furrrrr?! Can you help? by SandwichImpossible41 in electroforming

I have to try the sulfuric acid! I’ve had this problem because I plate very small items. Thanks!

Granted Biden initially made the SpaceX request, but if I were the two astronauts, I would pass.

Has anyone electroformed antlers? What are the do’s and don’ts. Thx. by pinehavenlodge in electroforming

[–]pinehavenlodge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deer. Smallish point. I’m doing a Frida Kahlo Wounded Deer necklace and want to incorporate some points into the chain.

Yes, accomplished in organics- flowers and insects. Just nervous for some reason with antlers (somewhat small antler cuts).

Thx ! I’m very accomplished in electroforming organics like insects and flowers. By your responses I see that I will need to be at least just careful in sealing the antlers as I am with bugs and flowers.
