In this video Allen Newberry J.S. will be giving an overview of the lost wax casting process and will demonstrate how he achieved attractive patinas on tortoise shell shaped lanyard beads made of three different metals: Antique Bronze, Sterling Silver, and Shibuichi.  Shibuichi is an alloy of silver and copper.  These beads were designed to look like a Home's Hingeback Tortiose.  These are lanyard beads.  They have a 1/4" hole running through the middle so that a lanyard can be made of paracord and run through the bead and then be attached to a knife or other object on which you would like to have a lanyard.  I use two different methods to create a patina.  In one method I use salt and vinegar to add a really heavy patina to the bronze beads.  In a second method I make a less drastic patina on sterling silver and shibuichi beads.  You will see Allen Newberry go over how he carved wax, made a silicone mold, injected wax, made a mold with investment, did a wax burnout, melted metals with a torch, and did a lost wax casting of a lanyard bead.
