We have been trying to come up with a new design for a necklace.  I have created a number of pendant styles that were dependent on a chain or cord to be wearable.  Leanne had an amazing idea to copy the form of a solid gold and silver collar she had.  I wrapped her collar with a layer of cardboard and covered it with foil. A heat gun was used to melt plastic resin onto the form.  It got really hot at I worked and the plastic began to run. After a little practice, a section was melted then set in ice water to cool. The sections came together and I had a collar.
