okay, i'm really trying here. believe it or not, there are practically no casting supplies available in vegas. dick blick has very expensive silicone and 2 part resin. michael's has 2 part, polyester resin (stinky). that's it, i had to go to a boat store and get tinting gel for gel coat to get color. it's pretty crude, but it's kind of working.

time to mold up . . . .

first mold poured . . . .

have to make a new original to mold from for piece 2 . . .

pulled the molds off the bases, i tried to save them to make another mold so it's quicker to cast multiples. i think i succeded with one.

originals pulled from molds . . .

row of color . . . hard to get it right.
