I got up early and headed of to school today to do some plaster mold making. This was the piece I had been working on down in Fresno. After the semester started, I tried to make another drop out mold and I must have undercut the sides after I got it stuck in the last mold and had to rework it. So I decided to go ahead and practice 5 part mold making. I know, ambitious aren't I?
What I thought was only going to take a few hours took me all day, literally. I went in at 8 and didn't leave until 7. I still have to go back and clean up my mess. Plaster everywhere, but a girl's gotta take a break sometime.
I have lots more pics of the molds. That's right. I made not one, but two. And the last bit of number two is waiting for me to go finish it. Oh yeah, and clean. Ugh. I better go before I completely collapse. Have a great remainder of the weekend!

The mold looks good, did you key the bottom to the side walls?
Yeppers.
great job you little artist you!!!
Ahh I know what you mean about having something take all day that you thought would be a couple of hours, moldmaking does that to me every time!
Five part mold, wow! Looks very nice. What is your model made of? And what is it coated with? I have gotten things stuck in the mold too, but never thought to make it a multi-part mold to prevent that... I will have to try it :P
