Medal #3

I Still need to polish this bad boy up. 

The other side of the medal:  (the difference in colour is due to poor lighting)

 

Medal attempt #1

Medal #1

Heres the wax version.

The bees didnt come out as well.

Honey Comb Close up

So amazing to think that this was all created by little bees. 

I love the edge of honey comb. You can really see how the comb is angled so that the honey doesnt drip out and how the cells are placed to give the comb strength. 

Bee and Honey Comb

Just a quick idea of what my final medal piece might look like. 

Honey comb attempt 3

This is my 3rd attempt at honey comb casting. 

It didn't rise as much as I wanted to, but I quite like the effect that its had. 

The decayed look fits in perfectly with my save the bees project.

You can also see through to the other side of the honey comb and can see where I filled the other side with wax.

I also coated this in a layer of ammonia powder to give it a darker colouring.
