These stunning items were created using age-old process of gravity casting and forging. The artist behind these pieces is Karen at http://www.kdemarte.etsy.com/ Each piece is a incredible process of carving the mold, pouring in molten metal, filing, adding texture, hammering, antiquing and then hand polishing. With each piece you know you are getting the heart and soul of the artist. These delightful handcrafted items would make a perfect holiday gift for those in your life who appreciate the hardwork and time that goes into each item.
