I really need to get my hands on some metals and start making symbol foci for various Aspects.

Embossing, hand casting or PMC?

I'd like to look into hand casting, but I'm going to have to talk to my metalsmith artist housemate and probably go for the most novice type of creating first. No sense ruining the work, especially since the ritual is a bit long.

And I've never done anything like this before with metals.

Found recipes for lemon cloud tea cookies. Somehow my brain rearranges this to "lemon tea cloud cookies," and now I'm very curious about how to go about making cookies with tea + lemon.

Tea, do you have suggestions? heart

So, I have a 'friend' who insists on making 'arguements' for atheism ever since she found out I'm a theist.

Problem is, like most atheist arguements I've encountered, she's not arguing against theism so much as she's arguing against a very specific view of YHVH, one that I don't hold, concerning a god I don't follow!

And she keeps making these arguements no matter how many times I point this out, or ask why she's bothering when I'm totally irreligious!

Your "friend" is silly and quite possibly even stupid.

Use a good quality matcha and sift it into the flour.

Poe>> PMC is easy to work with, requires minimal expense for an initial setup, but a bit expensive for the actual product.

they don't have a sun lantern do they?

I feel somewhat dirty.
He agrees with me.

I love my husband. We're going to a potluck dinner party. He's making our contribution!

Expensive is gonna be tough for now. I'll look into it. Thank you.

Can someone vouch for this article? I remember Celeblin and Tea talking about it earlier in the thread but I didn't really understand what was going on since there was same name-dropping and history stuff that I'm pretty ignorant about. sweatdrop  

[Bastemhet]

I found what I was looking for. I'm glad I may not have to take a class in this and take time away from my major any more than I already have.

Btw, those who were cleaning out their inventories of junk using the current Christmas event, don't even bother trying to unlock the "250 gingerbread men" achievement. Not worth the item you get, which is the garbage wings. Although I must say, this long overdue inventory cleaning netted me about 200k. eek eek

Personally, I just bought up 150 starter items for 2 gold each. 300 gold for what was, last I checked, an 8K item? Yes please. xd

Plus I was bored, so very very bored. 3nodding

I basically gave away everything I've been storing up hoping they rise in price for like the last, oh...four years. xd I donated everything under 1k and have been selling the rest, thus the hefty profit. Hopefully the money I made plus whatever my sis donates to me after her art auction will be enough to get the last items I've wanted- some kittens at me feets! 4laugh

That's just it, PMC is cheap to start out with, but in the long term it becomes expensive since the value for troy ounce after casting via lost wax was about a third of what the clay costs.

Basically, you can start with PMC for about $40. Lost Wax, even if you make your own investment and centrifuge, is hundreds of dollars after you get your burnout kiln.
