Three Fire Ant Colony Casting Session, Part 2: Casting in the Daylight for a Change (Cast #118)

Part two of the three fire ant colony aluminum casting session. This one produced lots of smoke during the cast which made it difficult for me to see. Like a true professional I persevered and finished the cast with perfection (other than spilling a little bit of aluminum). It turned out pretty nice! Part 3 coming soon.

This is Anthill Art Cast #118 and reached a depth of 12” (30 cm) and weighed 8.6 lb (3.9 kg). More pictures can be seen here: https://www.anthillart.com/castings/118/

This is Part 2 of a three-part series.
