Throughout 3D these few weeks I have looks at a varitey of way to use pewter (metal) methods, such as making my design out MDF. However the problem with this material is that  I can not deisgns that are circled and with a shaped round edges with the bandsow because the blade will snap. So I am using clay to mold my design any shaped I want it to be.

I had to design a letter with any style of writing, I chose calligraphy and my letter is "O". I then made my shape out of clay.  I made the letter shape rounded, this will help with smoothing the edges and make it more like a letter. I have to make my letter on a back ground to relief the letter. So it will not snap when I mold my deisgn.

This is my design finished and these are the tools I used to create this letter. I left marks to make it more old and vintage. These tools smooth, scratch the clay surface to leave a great finish.
  [*I will update you with my final pewter design later on when I finish.]
