WTF, you can’t capitalize things yourself?

The inner workings
Of my heart
A machine of great complexity
Lost without a second thought
To the glorious morning sun

She radiates
And my soul is filled
With her radiance,
Her light as she begins to rise
And sets without restoring
The gears of my heart

I set upon the Tower of Babel
Seeking to restore myself
And my cold workings
But I was cast down

I flew upon Ikarus’s wax wings
Searching for the missing pieces
And restore her tender warmth
But I fell
And I ponder

I have come close
To the sun
And her brilliance
And she did not see me

I have called
From the highest tower
But I could not speak
And she could not hear me

Now I sit
A broken machine
Touched by the warmth of the sun
To forever remain in obscurity

I’d rather kill myself than read that again

Song of Youth

Remember me
on felled May evenings,

who crept, and danced, and spun, and lost.

Remember me
as bright forms waxing

before the fatal mould was cast.

Yes, we do pour from our youth into moulds, don’t we? We yearn, even lust to; then, once cast, once free of the clothing of youth, we remember, melancholic….

Excellent word choices in this poem, I enjoyed it very much.

Preparing for lost wax casting, step 3: steaming out the wax from inside the hardened plaster investment.

Most common method for casting metal?
terra cotta, lost-wax, subtractive method, or assemblage.

Lost wax.

Wax is sculpted into the desired shape, a mold is cast around it, then the wax inside is melted and drains out, leaving only the desired form as an empty space. Then, molten metal is poured into the void, the metal cools, and the outer mold is broken off, revealing the metal sculpture.

This may be a crazy question, but I want to have a flower that is made out of plastic, casted in sterling silver. Is this possible?

I know the lost wax process, but was wondering if I could have plastic materials casted also?

do you have one plastic flower and it needs to come out perfect the first time or do you have several?
Depending on the type of plastic your plastic could be embedded into the appropriate material like for the lost-wax-casting and the plastic would burn out. The hollow space could be filled with molten sterling silver resulting in a replica of your plastic flower.

The problem is that there are many types of plastic. Some do burn out cleanly, others do not. Trial and error is the only practical way to find out. The only other option would be to make a mold of your flower and use this to make a replica in wax. Which also could be complicated.

You could either try to find a jewelry class which teaches you casting during which you could do it yourself or you need to find a jeweler who does custom fabrication as well and not just sell ready made jewelry. It’s not going to be cheap.

Depending on size and thickness of parts it would need to be cast with either vacuum casting or centrifugal casting, which is equipment a jeweler would have, but not a large scale art foundry.

The technology of precision casting foundry (lost wax method) wasdevelopped in the United States for steel industrial applications.This allows the reproduction of the smallest details of the mould.

When looking on the net specific to Vietnam there are quite a few suppliers supplying precision castings.

Just a normal search based approach will give you all you need.

This is the seventh step in the reproduction process I use for making my jewelry. After the metal has cooled to about 900F the mold is broken by dunking it in cold water. This is probably my favorite part.
