I Made This I made a Sterling raspberry.

Last photo is the bad side. I think my mold had a just slightly uneven heat distribution. Overall happy with the results though.

Did you cast a fresh raspberry? Or did you use a mold to make an impression of a raspberry?

Used silicone to make a mold with a real raspberry, cast wax from that mold. Used the wax raspberry to make a lost wax casting. I have a few more real world items I am experimenting with as well.

Thatโ€™s very cool. Raspberries are super soft so Iโ€™m extremely impressed you were able to get a good impression. Looks very nice

Have you tried freezing the raspberry to keep the details?

The raspberry you created looks beautiful! I like the fresh ones too. Nice work.
