At the end of summer

I got various things such as cicadas and empty shells

With electro forming

Copper plated!

Rainbow stag beetle and Tama-chan, the beetle

The children that my nephew kept carefully.

Since I fulfilled my life, I ordered a brooch!

It was difficult, but completed safely.

They were very happy ✨✨

... Read more私が「エレクトロフォーミング 虫」を自作でやってみて一番感じたのは、メッキ液や電源よりも“下準備”で仕上がりが決まることでした。セミの抜け殻みたいに薄くて軽いものは、触るだけで割れたり羽が変形しやすいので、作業前に柔らかい筆でホコリを落として、壊れそうな部分は瞬間接着剤を極少量だけ裏側から補強しておくと安心でした。 次に大事なのが導電化(電気を通す層づくり)です。昆虫の体表は場所によってツルツルだったり、細かい毛があったりでムラが出やすいので、導電塗料は一気に厚塗りしないで、薄く→乾燥→薄くを繰り返す方が安定しました。羽の筋や脚の関節など“銅が回り込みにくい凹み”は、筆先で塗料を押し込むようにすると後のピンホールが減ります。私は「ここメッキ乗るかな…」と不安な箇所ほど、先に導電チェック(テスターがあれば理想)をしてから液に入れるようにしました。 通電が始まったら、最初の数十分〜1時間は特に観察が必要でした。電流を強くしすぎると、表面がザラザラに育ったり、角や脚の先に“コブ”みたいに盛り上がったりしがちです。私は最初は弱めでスタートして、全体がうっすら銅色になってから少しずつ上げるやり方が失敗が少なかったです。セミの抜け殻は軽くて浮きやすいので、固定位置がズレないように吊り方(接点)を工夫して、揺れない状態を作るのもポイントでした。 仕上げのブローチ加工は、裏面の平らな場所を作るのがコツです。メッキ後に出っ張りがある場合は、削りすぎると薄い部分が露出するので、私は当て木+やすりで少しずつ調整しました。ブローチ金具はエポキシ系接着剤の方が安心感があり、固定中は動かないようにマスキングテープで仮止めして硬化待ちしました。 ちなみに「黒と黄色 小さい虫」を見つけた時、私も最初はハチっぽく見えてドキッとしました。写真で記録しておくと同定しやすいし、作品にする場合も“どんな虫だったか”が後から分かって思い出が濃くなります。タマムシのように元の色味が綺麗な子は、銅のフレームで縁取るだけでも雰囲気が出るので、全部を厚く覆わず“見せたい色”を残す設計にすると満足度が上がりました。
