Yesterday I sculpted the hook for my belt clasp. I started with a piece of wire bent into the basic shape, then roughed out the main body of the hook with Milliput. I then added the collar and terminals in green stuff. The terminals are roughly shaped like bird heads, though not much detail survived the casting process.

Very very cool!
You should take pictures of the step-by-step.

That rocks. I would love to learn how to cast someday, but I'm such a huge chicken around hot metal.
Pewter isn't too scary. I've only ever gotten splattered a couple of times when I was being impatient and not being careful enough. I was also barefoot. :)
