Aluminum casting into oil bonded sand!

the first time i did the casting of my aluminum completely by my self!
 My cating boxes raammed with oil bonded sand with the pour hole and gas vent (or runner and riser if you wanna get technical)

 melting the metal 
 sorry no images of the actual pour would be hard to take a photo and pour at the same time ....
and the result! just need a little cleaning up 
still looking rough but i'm working on it!

Went to Birmingham nature centre :)

Well after travling all the way to B'ham to see the "made in the Middle" craft exhibition, only to find it closed so me and my boyfriend went to the nature park instead , was defiantly worth it!

Busy, Busy, Day

So today i Have washed and dried 5kg of alpaca wool ready to be sold hopefully to textile and fashion students at my university, and also on my Etsy. 
Annnddd  i cleaned up my metal domes that I cast yesterday, these are for my university project where im making a 3 part spherical, terrarium. You can see here the dome in the foreground which i've filed down the most of the rough patches and the dome behind hasn't been worked on yet. still need a lot more work on them and hopefully the next 6 casts will result in a product which  does not need as much cleaning up afterwards.
