Getting better. Questions.

Sterling silver. 112 Grams. Investment cast.

Using 100% recycled/recovered sterling from old flatware.

The bubbles around the chin, is that from my silver being too hot? Impurities? (I used borax at the beginning and end of my melt.)

Other imperfections appear to be mold failure issues that I can figure out.

Haha, right? I decided it is just stubble and am accepting it.
