Day 3 Part 4 bee's Wax, metal work

Ok, we headed off into the country side, and visit, a metal work shop, how they produce those metal idols you see in the shops, house was a traditional home, scuplute's are carved into bee's Wax, then, plaster, is covering the mold, amazing detail, around 50% of the bee's Wax is recovered in the process, actually was really interesting, they have been doing it for around 25 years, normally ship all around the world, there is even one in a temple in Otahuhu!, which I may have to have a look at when I get home, these range in sizes from small to HUGE...
