Sculpture Made From Bismuth Metal

in bismuth •  6 years ago 

Bismuth is an interesting substance. I used it as an artist primarily for its low melting point. I could easily melt it over a gas stove. I created this object measuring 12 cm diameter using various molds. It is a beautiful metal that both oxidises to iridescent colours and forms crystals.

Thank you @spicetrader

This is amazing! It looks like you just dug this out of the deep cave in northern Thailand!

I expect a space alien UFO next!
