I love to sculpt..and havelong wanted to make my own tiki mugs that can be cast from a silicone mold or sent away for manufacturing. I was asked recently my Tikifarm if I would like to work with them on this sort of project. Does ayone have advice for what a original should be carved or sculpted from so that molds can be made if sent to asia or whatever for production?? Or..do I just sculpt a prototype and someone recreates it in the propper form for mold making and I approve this..etc. I wantto tinker with all this on my own. Suggstions greatly appreciated!!
