I especially love the bug (is it a bee?) and the bird with wings spread. I'm definitely going to make my own molds to try.

SOLDER CASTING -- Another Project I'm Going to Love!

I don't have time for another project now ... but this one is so exciting! I recently saw a webcast featuring Cat Kerr and her solder casting technique. It was really great. I highly recommend it!
