Got done pretty well... I'm satisfied with it. I poured one additional mold for Kumuhonua, just for to reduce time of making clay-guys. I started the next bag of plaster and this plaster ain't same as plaster as was the previous plaster... Again... Stoned in few seconds... and lot of bubbles... So... I'm afraid this mold is f*cked up... Plaster got stoned in the time while pouring... Oh, Lordy-Lord... So the connecting part of two front parts of mold is in one side now, because plaster was stoned before it reached the middle line. Lordy-Lordy-Lord... And I really think it is so bubbled that maybe it is not usable. But the biggest problem is those bubbles in clay. I opened the new clay-guy... Walls are pretty wide, maybe near 1 cm... and I'm pretty sure there may be many bubbles inside, so I'm afraid I cannot put it in fire... It would explode. I still exercised on it. I fcked up the bottom. I pushed that wooden ring to the bottom too hard, so the bottom was little bit ruined, so I tried to take it out again from inside and fcked up little bit more, so it's not so nice and clean anymore, but I put some water inside and tried to make it good. Well, not too bad, maybe almost ok. Anyway, that wooden-ring stuff is pretty not-so-easy. I don't have any other idea, so I guess I will use that ring in future too, but must be very careful. Also I tried to fill some bubble-holes with very wet clay... I guess they may be ok, but maybe not. Anyway, I guess I will not put it in fire. But the big question is that what I'm gonna do with next clay-guys... Maybe that plastificator would help in this question??? There always be some bubbles that ruins everything... Kanaloa and skull... I also glued already woods for Kane, but I was too hardfisted with glue and now there's empty spaces between woods... Well, this is problem of future, I don't think about it right now. Here's Kanaloa and skull drawn... Simple, but the way it has to be.

So... What has been done for now...

Here is the picture of Ku and his mold. Got done pretty well... I'm satisfied with it.

I poured one additional mold for Kumuhonua, just for to reduce time of making clay-guys. I started the next bag of plaster and this plaster ain't same as plaster as was the previous plaster... Again... Stoned in few seconds... and lot of bubbles... So... I'm afraid this mold is f*cked up... Plaster got stoned in the time while pouring... Oh, Lordy-Lord... So the connecting part of two front parts of mold is in one side now, because plaster was stoned before it reached the middle line. Lordy-Lordy-Lord... And I really think it is so bubbled that maybe it is not usable.

But the biggest problem is those bubbles in clay. I opened the new clay-guy... Walls are pretty wide, maybe near 1 cm... and I'm pretty sure there may be many bubbles inside, so I'm afraid I cannot put it in fire... It would explode. I still exercised on it.
