Description
Skeleton KeyKey project for jewelry casting class. It was supposed to be a quick and simple project. We were to mold and cast an object, such as a shirt button, add a shaft and key/teeth at the end. Being me... I had to make it 10X more difficult. I had a skull from an action figure, made the mold and cast it in wax. Problem was it was too small and the teacher didn't like it. So I had to re-sculpt the whole thing larger from scratch. So the whole key was sculpted by me... skull, arm, and hand. Thought it would be funny if the hand was making a "sign"

I thought what you did with the Samus Aran custom figure was already amazing, only for me to find out you also did a bronze Samus and this too!

i hope someday to take the class just for fun, but as of now i'm transferring to csuf and am going to focus on my degree work so sadly no -- at least not soon.

Aww... I guess I'm on the same boat. I have to take all my GEs and transfer out. Ok, until next time.

Lovely! The sign with the skeleton hand makes it all the more appropriate methinks.

Mass produced? I've got molds and the "Master Key"
so it shouldn't be a problem.

Oh ho! This is beautifully spooky. This would make a great necklace or an item in a glass box with silk lining. =w= so pretty..next to a class of red wine. <3

The White Bronze and Silver ones actually have a hoop on the back so you can put it on your key chain or necklace.
