Dune Sandworm And Atreides Hawk Crest Hand Cast Lead Free Pewter Pin Set

Posted on by

Shai-Hulud and The Atreides Hawk, mix and match these pins to show your love of the Dune books. These are not “hand made” in the sense that they are designed and then made in a factory in china, these are hand carved, hand cast, and hand constructed, as such each one comes out slightly differently.

Hand made to order.

.5 inches wide .5 inches tall for each pin.

Pin back hardware is made from brass, and pin is nickle, design is lead free pewter. Custom built to work on most fabric, but works better on heavy canvas jackets or backpacks.  Want to buy a pair, see here, or here.

This is a project that I have been working on for almost two years now.  Just spending a little time on it here and there.  It started as an idea to make a custom journal, and has been the most complicated wax carving and casting project.

I started by making a design on paper, and cutting out the wax into that shape.

Then I traced the design with an x-acto knife.

Then I got to carving (using my home made carving tools).

Then I made a mold to cast (lead free) pewter into.

Then melt the pewter and cast.

Two crysknive’s at the bottom of the badge.

 

Muad’dib the mouse on the second moon.

Shai-Hulud rising from the sand.

Water drops around the edge

It looks good on a journal as well.

I am just overjoyed with how well this turned out.  I am going to be selling both the book plate on its own, and along with a journal on my etsy store.
