My cunning plan is slowly working. I've been listing things I don't need on ebay to generate enough money to buy the things that I absolutely can't make, scrounge or recycle. So I've just sold two books, which has given me enough in paypal to buy 750g of bentonite clay which should make proper foundry green sand for casting.
I'm hoping to make some jewellery without a crucible just by putting catch trays under the next burn, with green sand in and designs pressed in that I can then turn into jewellery...

This is the blog for my attempts to make a prehistoric Willendorf Venus style statue out of recycled aluminium cans. I'll be building a couple of home foundry projects - one to purify the scrap aluminium and one for casting. For the final cast I'll use candle making techniques to make a custom mould to cast wax statues. These will then be packed in sand and baked in the oven for lost wax casting.
