Jeweler @fione_harvey showing her gorgeous wax rings which have been carved for casting. What is your favorite carving wax? I’ve always used the Matt brand which comes in tubes for easy sizing. Maybe there is a brand I’ve never heard of 🤔 #metalsmithsociety #waxcarving #lostwaxcarving #lostwaxprocess #lostwaxmethod #jewelrystudent #learningmetalsmithing #metalsmithing #customcarvedrings #jewelrycommunity #jewelrymakers #jewelrymakersofinstagram

More tips

A tip from @n0place: dust your wax with baby powder to get an idea of what the carving looks like as you work.

A tip from @ginagreyjoyas: draw wax carving designs on graph paper to make sure your carving is symmetrical.
