    Leslie, I don't know if I am the "Judy" to whom you refer (there
    seem to be lots of us on this list!), but here are some references to
    doing simple steam casting. 

    1. T. McCreight, _The Complete Metalsmith_ (1991) p. 96 

    2. A. Sprintzen, _Jewelry: Basic Techniques and Designs_, p. 86 

    3. von Neumann, _The Design and Creation of Jewelry _(3rd ed.),
    p.115 

    4. T. McCreight, _Metalworking for Jewelry_ (1979), p. 130 

    5. _Rock & Gem _magazine, February 1972, pp. 64-67 (good photos),
    "Steam Casting," by Lee Martin [subtitle of article: "Your equipment
    investment: an electric hotplate and a flower pot"] 

    6. booklet, _Lost Wax Steam Casting_, by Felisky. 

Best wishes,
