All done, remove bell
And the final piece! ready to hang on ur bike!
WOW! Amazing. Any Video Footage of the whole process? Was the Gold Painted after cutting? What paint? Can you make me one too? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Fayyaz.... sorry no detailed footage... the "gold" is just dust over the wax - it gets cast in brass.
Deleteemail me at design@digital-jeweller.com to discuss what you want. Can make one for you exactly like this, or with your own detail on.
Cheers
