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!
