I've never worked with Friendly Plastic.....

http://www.sunshinecrafts.com/body_friendly_plastic.html

At first it sounded like it might work.... then I read this......

NOTE: Pieces made with Friendly Plastic® will soften or melt at 100º F when exposed to direct sunlight or similar heat sources for long period of time.

Hmm then I'd still be sticky...lol. Could we use some kind of wire as a base and build atop that?

Just to cut form metal it would not have the dimesional look but would be flat would it not? All I know is I love that piece and if anyone can think of a wy to create I would love them forever...

It would depend on how much detail work you put into it... there could be some dimension to it but not as much as a cast piece, unless two pieces were soldered together...

Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty, avaialable at your local home supply or hardware store, is great, read the label it's got tons o' uses.

Maybe not flexible enough, but using Patrick's lost wax process it could be poured into the mold, removed when hardened and painted or gold leaf applique' to replicate piece. Perhaps a measurement of the Syren's preferred appendage would allow it be cast in a size that would fit her.

Just a thought, the stuff is great.

Dries hard as rock, hence the name, it started out as wood filler, I use it for plugging screw holes on my camp furniture. But it says on the label that it can be used for modeling and pouring and such. It's really versatile, but not very flexible.

Ok I went to Home Depot/Lowes/ Ace Hardware and a little place known as Winkley's Trading and Supplies..They have all kinds of stuff and really hard to find for some of it and no such luck with the Durham's. Im going to call the automotive stores around here and see if I can find it that way as well as check with the local craft stores.

sutlerjon we don't have such a critter down here..It's going to be like that jar of fluff Lily sent me...

EDIT:::: More Info on them explaining the loops over his head

The armbands – imposing testimonials to the goldsmiths' art – represent two tritons (attendants of the sea god), male and female, each holding a small winged Eros. The hoops behind the tritons' heads were used to attach the armbands to the sleeves of a garment, because their weight (over 6-1/2 ounces each) would have caused them to slip.

LOL

Sterling...:::points to Syren::: woman! :) Of course she wants a pair. Just like shoes, ye gotta have a pair. :D

Hmmm...maybe make the femme one more of a merman without a babe? Or maybe a mermaid with a dolphin? Or something else.

They are mighty lovely. :)

I always wanted a pair..but Im not liking the female version as much.

OK... here I am innocently trying to catch-up on reading posts after returning from a Business trip to Los Vegas.... and what do I read...?

Obviously, I miss-read something........ :lol:

:lol: The armbands. I found a better picture of it and they are a pair, the male and female. sterling was laughing and teasing me cause I found the set and he said just like a woman to want a pair. actually I would be content with one or a pair but not the female mermaid. The male has so much more detail to him and the female looks..weird.

I was also curious as to why they had loops behind the heads and the article on page 2 tells that they weigh 6 and a half ounces and they tied these to their clothes so they did not slip down the arm.

I found a copper pot yesterday..I think I could melt it down lol

The next to last link..definitely loving some of the pieces there. The Moon Mermaid but my fave is the Atlantis Mermaid..even her tail is in my favorite colors.

Definitely the Grace O'Malley necklace in the last and the Shaylee as it's my birthstone, The bracelets I like them all! the Atlantis Dream pendant is pretty too.

Thanks so much Merry for those links..They are all gorgeous.

I used to live at Fort Knox...there's a great armoured museum there...not that the museum itself is armoured, but they have a collection of armoured vehicles there (Patton Museum of Armour). As for the Gold Depository...well, how are ye at climbing barbed wire fences (might be concertina wire, which is much worse) while dodging bullets fired by *very* unsympathetic expert shots?

Umm no gold..nor silver...hmmm maybe I can borrow one from Ft. Knox....

Damn, thats sharp!
