I love it when things that might not seem to go together
really do go together
Here is what I brought together over the weekend:
A broom
Fire
Scrap
It might sound scary, but its not.
Really cool things happen when you combine these.
See?
BROOMSTRAW CASTING!
A great (and fun) way to use scrap metal.
I generally dump my scrap into a container and then forget about it. I have several containers just brimming with scrap metal.
Although one very small container is now almost empty. YAY!
In addition to the 3 components listed above
you're also going to need
water
jar/can
flux
crucible (homemade or purchased)
pan or tray
and a fire extinguisher
~*~ just in case ~*~
HAVE FUN!!!
I don't really know what I will ultimately make with these,
but I take great inspiration from Beth Rosengard.
Amazing work.
