Tapsticles from zinc casting. 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Built some tapsticles for my friends keggerator. Putting this in the art section might be a bit of a stretch but check them out.

I sculpted them from clay with no source positive but thanks for asking. The way I got the realisitic look is by forming two clay balls and laying a thin clay sheet over to make it fall in a realistic way.
