I also printed out the picture in full size and, for that matter I have MANY other pictures of the subject that I am carving stuck up around me. Never carve from memory alone. Here I have used masking tape to stick my small picture onto the purple wax sheet. Nice and flat and neat. I used to use clear adhesive as well and sometimes I still do, but it can seep through the paper and cause some loss of clarity.

Now I take my scalpel and cut through the paper and into the wax, leaving a thin line as the start of my wax carving cameo.

Like this birds are straight forward, but were I to do a face or something more defined, I would obviously put more lines in the wax.

Not to many though, because otherwise they become confusing and you get lost. Now it is time to use tool no 1, the bent polished pick. The thin one first. Here I am defining the shape and carving the background wax away. As ol' Leo said, I am removing all the stuff that doesn't look like an egret By now I have removed quite a lot of background wax and I am starting to look at the thickness of the final piece.

I want it to be about mm. When I have the right thickness, then I file the wax on the back away, toward the egret, until the surrounding wax becomes transparent. Then it is easy to cut the remaining wax away, using tool no1, your pick. Like this. Now I sprue up the carved purple wax by joining the blue sprue wax with heat, then into the investment powder and cast it using a centrifugal caster.

Here is the original silver master made from the purple wax carved egret. The master is vulcanized and a copy is made with wax injection using the green wax. This is a carved mermaid showing the front and the back. The finish of the wax is important. The more polished and finished off now, the less you have to do later when the master is cast. A trick is to use nylon stockings in a small ball to smooth out the wax surface.

Note, how the the back has been hollowed out. This is done with a light behind the wax piece. The lighter in weight your wax the lighter your finished metal piece. Here the wax carved mermaid has been cast in silver, vulcanized and then the final cast was done in 18k yellow gold. The rock is handmade out of copper. This mermaid on rocks choker pendant was a commissioned jewelry piece.

Another example of a wax carved woman figure with robes which is then cast into silver. Here I have carved a hummingbird, made a wax injection copy which I then incorporate into a bangle cuff design with organic wax edges. These are typical pendants where I would use this type of wax carving method. If you have any questions or wish to be notified of any new tutorials that are posted, email me.
