Rubber mold time!

I forgot to get a picture of it, but I cast an S link that I intend to make into a chain for my main ring that's cast in order to turn the ring itself into a pendant.

Rubber molds are cool, the process is relatively tedious and I CANNOT stand the smell of burning rubber. Ugh it makes me gag profusely, but it was actually a relatively relaxing process (once I had my respirator on). The little wooden board with the clamps on it helped ease the pressure off my fingers and thumb which was nice. The surgical blade intimidated me a little bit but I got over it in the end!
All in all, it was a pretty easy process and I would very much like to use this process in the future.
