I have been working on this project for a while and I can finally reveal it.

This is an offshoot of a project I did a couple of years ago involving quasicrystals (qc) which was published in Pidgin Magazine issue 6. The piece originated as a 3D model :

The geometry of which was based on these earlier experiments with the qc. From there, I 3D printed the object to get a positive that I could make copies of:

This acted as a master from which I could get a silicone mold:

and then cast it into unfinished silver. The white residue is some combination of the plaster mold and a release agent:

This was then finished into the final pendant which came out with a shockingly shiny. After all, it is silver:

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the result although there is a lot that I would change if I had it to do over again. The fabrication process has been really fascinating and rewarding as someone who hasn’t dealt with casting metal before.
