    Dear Richard, I made a fairly ok living do model making for jewelry
    stores and small manufactures and for the figurine industry for
    several years. I used a material called File a Wax and used carved
    it with steel burrs of all shapes and a lot of engravers, files and
    dental tools. There are a few books on wax carving but I was
    fortunate enough to take a class from the queen of carving Jacki, in
    1980 at GIA when they were in Santa Monica. I had always been
    considered a fast carve and had taught classes in wax carving and
    after taking her class for two weeks my time was cut in half and I
    would be glad to share the process with you or anyone who is
    interested. It is fairly direct and simple once you learn the steps. 

    You can look what I am doing now at cynthiathomasdesigns.com   . I
    stopped doing so much jewelry and am now into Larger bronze work but
    I keep my hand in the jewelry work. 

    I live in Mendocino County, Northern California. I am thinking of
    teaching some classes again. 

Cynthia Thomas
John's wife
