Like their forefathers, Ghana’s modern brass casters begin the process of making metal articles by sculpting in beeswax. The wax form is then painted with a paste of fine charcoal and water and covered in a mold of coarse palm fibers and clay. This porous mixture permits the necessary release of hot air and gases as the mold is baked, giving the final product a smooth finish. Finally, the melted wax is poured out and replaced by molten brass. The finished brass piece is polished with palm nut fibers and sand over several days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-83100d02-7fff-c06d-fa1b-f62bd0e1ebc3\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e*Please note: these are preorder and will ship in 2 weeks (delivery before Christmas)*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.25” wide x 1” tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 2 Napkin Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare instructions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eD\u003cspan\u003eo not put in dishwasher. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTo brighten the brass if it tarnishes, scrub with lemon juice.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Ghana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Molly Keogh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67443231686731,"sku":"AMKBR001","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/8847\/files\/IMG_4523.jpg?v=1794329520"},{"product_id":"upcycled-cotton-yarn","title":"Upcycled Cotton Yarn","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"comp-m8kf79y9\" role=\"\" class=\"HFEOE3 NaeT1r comp-m8kf79y9 wixui-box\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"responsive-container-content\" role=\"group\" class=\"comp-m8kf79y9-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-m8kf7llc\" role=\"\" class=\"HFEOE3 NaeT1r comp-m8kf7llc-container comp-m8kf7llc wixui-box\" dir=\"ltr\" data-motion-enter=\"done\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-m8kf7llj\" class=\"N8MGzv _v6ohL AWXfZq PO9MfV comp-m8kf7llj wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWe are obsessed with these cotton yarns made from upcycled t-shirts! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eTarnty is a circular yarn created by The Or Foundation’s Material Technology and Transformation Lab (MTTL) to address the growing textile waste crisis linked to Ghana’s second-hand clothing market.
