So here is one of my new favourite things-a little star and a reminder to be bright and shiny! It's only 12mm wide, but (at 6mm thick) it's quite weighty/chunky for its small size. I cast it (using the lost wax method) from a smooth, hard sweet.* The sweet reacted to the moisture in the investment causing the surface to become slightly pitted. I quite like the texture it produced.
*I want to thank my kind friend Elmien. Without her gift of star sweeties I would not have my new favourite thing :)
