Silver Sugar Skulls - Sand Casting and Silver Pouring Techniques

Ойын-сауық

I tried sand casting Mexican Sugar Skulls for the first time and they came out pretty good! I experimented with two different techniques and even did a little artificial toning. If you're into silver pouring, I hope you enjoy this video. I even through in a little bit of informationa about the origins of sugar skulls. I'm always eager to learn so please feel free to offer suggestions in the comments section. As always, thank you for watching! ~T

    Nice work T, you are really doing well learning to pour silver. I found that if you tap the pour in the sand cast you can make some nice pour lines also if you try copper sometime be sure to use a separate crucible or they will cross contaminate. Copper has to get a little hotter or maybe just takes longer but it is fun to make one out of each metal. Keep having a great time.
