here is much happiness!  i love using wax to make molds for casting, the kind of wax that you can form with your fingers, leaving your fingerprints almost imperceptibly in the mold...

    thanks lorena! my instructor alan and i weren't optimistic about the mold filling properly, but it worked :) . the "dead branch" is a piece of plastic from an odd box of toy plastic bits (mostly cowboys, indians and soldiers) that alan brought for us to use in our mold-making. it was a fun class!
