Ha! With dyslexia and vision issues, I don't read much anymore.

As an undergrad, I studied industrial design and had an "art metals" class. I cast a couple things in silver, most notably a lost-wax process ring. It looked like a vine with leaves, but I didn't really think it through and the leaves were really sharp. It drew blood, the first time I put it on.

Another guy in the class cast a 2x3 Lego brick in silver, which was kind of awesome. I wish I could cast the remaining silver I have into Lego bricks, but I don't have the equipment.

We also cast copper and brass, but the light coming off the molten silver was my favorite by far.
