So there I was casting a few ingots... I don't recall exactly what alloy I was using, but would you believe that one of them turned out like this!
Seriously though, I made this special ingot for a friend. I also had a little help from my good buddy "Krylon". (The color is Gold Leaf)
This paper weight turned out be a big hit with her.
