Ornaments turned to magnets -

The photo casted emblems that started out as ornaments ended up as magnets in my retail store in Los Angeles. This isn't such a bad thing as a magnet just may be the commodity item that can work for these pieces. Larger castings are heavy and need to be mounted on a wall which requires some mechanical skill. Magnets placed in the back of the setting materials allows the bond to be created between the magnet and the piece while it is setting. This requires some patience because if I drop the magnet in before a reasonable amount of set time has occured, then the magnet drifts down into the material and doesn't work as a magnet either. I have been using a shape that resembles a smart phone, rectangular with curved edges and although there is some creep of the epoxy under the image, nobody complained about this as it sort of looked artistic.
