Harry Potter: The Philosopher / Sorcerer's Stone

Okay...so I know you guys call it "Castin Crap," but I really have never gotten anything but good results with it.

Here's something I whipped up this weekend. I'm not so happy with how it looks under the flash, but I love :love how it looks under natural light. To create the grain look, I used an old crafter's trick for fake snow -- sand mixed with acrylic paint.

It looks great .. I should try one someday.

Very nice work. I personally don't care what its made of, so long as it captures the spirit of the piece. And you, my friend have got it.

Wow. Really gorgeous piece. NICE WORK.

When I made my first version of the Philosopher’s Stone, I was quite happy with it, until I realized that it was probably a bit too small. Yes, bigger is better, and when you have Dumbledore’s letter to the goblins to accompany it, it becomes even cooler. (The TOP SECRET stamp was custom-made.) The new stone is approximately 3.5″ x2″ and is finished with acrylic paint mixed with sand to simulate the crystal's matrix. I think it looks much closer to the screen-used piece.
