Yamaha 3 Tuning Forks Bicycle Head Badge

I was contacted by a client in Australia to make this badge.  I am pleased with the way it came out.  The outer softness contrasts the hard lines of the inside.  The way the points intrude into the outer circle, and the over all design.  It also feels really nice when you pick it up, which is always a good sign.  I can’t wait to see it on the bicycle!

Bernie Sanders Head Badges!

I am feeling the Bern!  So much so that I thought I would make a Bernie Sanders head badge so that bicyclists for Bernie can show their love of this amazing candidate.

 

The first step was to carve them out of wax.

Then I molded that wax carving into some special high temp silicone. I then cast them in either tin or pewter (each and every one comes out a little different, so far the tin ones seem a bit more shiny).  The results have been pretty awesome!

They can be bent to fit on a bike, or left flat if you just want a shiny Bernie Sanders paperweight.

 

Every one comes out a bit different, but I like that, I might experiment with polishing them, but pewter and tin are very soft metals, and I don’t know if I have anything that delicate.

 

I am going to be selling them here, 27 dollars of every sale will be donated to the Sanders campaign.  Get your own!
