Working on Details
The Art of Traveling
I have been out of town & traveling via the Dolphin RV, and doing no drawing, painting or sculpture for almost two weeks! I took suitable paper, pencils, watercolors, etc. but just never sat down in comfort & good light to do a lick of work! I did take many photos, and received many positive comments on the RV paint job, however.
On land
Making more
Today’s work: two more people from the first two molds, and more people (clay only today).
It was warm today, and my material was a bit thick & set fast. This resulted in a lot more air bubbles, but I think I have the seams and air holes pretty well fixed & the new people are curing nicely.
And two brand new clay people to be cloned…
Current Problems
Drawing to 3-D
Now there are 4
Figure #2 Just Out
First Replica
The first clay model has been replicated using Rapidset mortar, and I am quite pleased (that it was not a disaster 🙂 Now I have the second mold filled with the same material. I will need to remake half the mother mold for the first figure, as I broke it while releasing my statuette: it was much too thin & weak, also I should have divided the piece a bit differently. I will wait until I release the second mold, then do repairs on both molds as required.
