    I don't know whether this would work or not, but thought I would
    suggest it. It might be  possible to mix up some   casting
    investment, pour it into a shallow container (like a sardine can),
    and  let it harden.   Then, carve a design into it, and when you are
    sure the mold is totally dry, put in your shot, then put it in the
    kiln and  Heat it to the melting point of the silver.    I have never
    tried this,  but I   vaguely remember reading this somewhere.
    Searched through my notes and files and could not come up with the
    source.  Perhaps  this suggestion will ring a bell with some other 
    Orchidians who can be of help.  Alma
