gold and silver letters

The a is from a typewriter that I acquired in the 90s and dismantled to get all the letters.

It has been pressed into wax, cast into a ring and then made into a rubber mould

I bought the b as a piece of type from the amazing Melbourne Museum of Printing, I am sorry that I cannot remember the font.

 It has been pressed into wax, cast into a ring and then made into a rubber mould 

 All the letters that can be Roman numerals are embossed.  I made the originals using tiny tools fashioned  from safety pins pressed into polyclay  to make a reverse mould.

All the letters that can be Roman numerals are embossed. The wax was pressed into the mould and made into a ring.

An old friend called Andrew Bayley engraved some rings for me. The mould is taken from the original hand engraving.

The f is also from an original hand engraving by Andrew Bayley

This is the one ring where I used the tiny safety pin tools to press directly into the wax rather than make a reverse mould. Simple and direct.
