Wonderful Wendy! Can you tell me what kind of "cold paint" you are using, and how it works (you bake it on??? really?) would that stuff work on metals? I have a friend that wants me to paint tiger stripes on his orange bike frame and I can't find anything that sticks.

You know, much as I have worked with sculpey I never came to the realization that you could make mold castings out of a piece made from it. Of course the number of molds I have mad can be counted on one hand...so I am not terribly familiar with how that whole process works. The main thing I have made a mold for was a latex mask, and the quick set plaster was nerve wracking to work with: that stuff had all kinds of huge warnings on the bag about how it could burn your skin if it came in contact...I was so terrified even with a mask that I was going to inhale some I held my breath the whole time I poured it. Good thing too: the stuff melted my original clay sculpt, I had to scrape it out.

Can't wait to see how the women look with the bowls, those are just going to be stunning!:)
