Lost-wax casting

A while ago I joined a workshop "lost-wax casting" given by Linde Neels from Ginkgo
We worked with sheets of wax that where molded, folded, ripped, dripped, cut ... into the desired shape of the piece of jewelry we had in mind. 
Sounds easier than it is. 
I chose to make 3 pairs of earstuds, not really knowing how it would look after the process of being turned into silver pieces. 




 Macroshots: the earstuds mesure approx 1 cm.
