My plan is to make a silicone mold, then a silicone master and finally make a multi piece plaster mold from that. After that its the standard clay slip casting. I like the plaster, something about the way it looks carved instead of sculpted. I am also trying a few other techniques with chavant and water based clay. And starting some little Polynesian idols for my wife's obsession with geocaching. And thanks for the compliments.
