Before I departed our Maleny home and workshop I got the chance to melt a bit of metal to make some peace tokens-buttons. The metal is pewter with a touch of silver and brass. You can see some of the finished tokens-buttons above.
I poured the molten metal into casting sand into which I had pressed an older form to enable me to pour quite a stash in one metal melt session. See casting sand with impressions below.
Following are some images of the casting process including the casting imperession burnt by the casting process.
I do love the brass colour on these pieces.
The token or button have a very organic look and feel.
