I have tried several methods of recreating delicate bas relief castings done in the 1920's using more modern materials but with unsatisfactory results until a friend of mine looked at the original pieces and remembered that hide glue and sawdust were used. I have found liquid hide glue and will comb lumber yards for fine sawdust. So you know what I will be doing this weekend! Pictures will be posted soon, even if the projuect does not turn out right away. We often learn more from our failures than our successes.

I will be crossing my fingers and toes this in hopes that THIS batch will turn out! :)
