I've sand cast the medieval casket keys in my little studio ... because how it's made matters.
While sand casting one medieval skeleton key the silver didn't completely flow and left a gap. I thought about melting the silver and trying it again but figured there was more to learn by trying to fix it.
I could have used silver to fix it seamlessly but wanted to embrace the imperfection so used bronze instead and I love the two tone result ... there's much to be said for embracing our imperfections.

Impressed with history!
