Cuttlebone casting is one of my favorite techniques, though it can be rather frustatingly erratic. It is very alchemical, as the carven mold produces much fire and smoke as I pour the molten silver into it.
As the technique combines Earth, Water, Fire and Air, if I don't yell at the metal as it flows to add quintessence, you can be sure it won't come out right at all!
This piece is a very heavy rendition of the badge of Druidic office. It is the symbol of the cycle of seasons as depicted by the Three-fold Goddess.
