Almost there...

Last session of wax carving last night & I feel like I've been working on this piece forever. It's almost there, just needs to be hollowed out and then I'll attach a bail to the back.

And this petit morceau is a ring I carved from leftover wax from the first ring I cast...

An update to the hat...I am sad to report that it was a disastrous situation in millinery class on Friday. My brim was mis-shaped and ended up being 2 inches too large to attach to the crown. My tireless efforts to shrink it were to no avail and I was forced to start on a different project (a hot pink fedora).  More pictures to come later this week.
