Lost wax manufacturing method casting
I make a model with wax in a lost wax manufacturing method (casting) beginning. I bury it in liquid rubber and tear moulage, the rubber type which hardened in two and take out a model and pour the wax which I dissolved in the place that was able to put rubber types together and take out the wax which I harden, and was reproduced. When bury the wax in gypsum, and bake it, wax melts, and appear; and hollow ができるます.

oxidation of silver925
I design it and make the metal industrial art object including the smudging out processing silver accessories, and various finish is given by manual thought. Even if it is the silver accessories of the same design, with one surface finish, it is to the accessories of totally different impressions. I criticize the method of this surface finish, and there are various methods including the method to color the surface it from a physical method rubbing chemically.

Ginzan has been opened in each place of San-in and Hokuriku since silver was produced according to the Japanese clerk in Japan from the seventh century, and it was at the middle in the 16th century, and arsenical rat poison from Iwami-silver-mine was developed.

"argentum" that the silver symbol of an element "Ag" means "white brightness" in Latin is the etymology. In addition, I am full of expansibility, and heat and the electric conductivity are biggest among every metal. The silver is distributed over the natural world widely, but the gross weight is extremely few things if I compare it with other metal. In addition, a point included in in existing many minerals naturally is different from the money.
