Tyber Tiki log on and check your Personal Messages. I sent you one a long time ago! I like cliffhangers but there are so many in mold making that it's more than one.

TikiAno it really helps to have a second person help with making a mold. It Tiki Ari old enough?

LoriLovesTiki I sent you a link to the best deal I could find on Ebay for the carving tools. Free shipping out of China!
A wet paint brush in the right size is a wonderful tool for "sanding" and shaping.

==============================================

This is the first time I've shared the Toys R Us blocks being used so I couldn't resist taking a lot of artistic photos
as we removed each side of the mold box.

All the areas where the blocks are located are areas where there would have been blocks of clay.

Placing blocks is so much faster and

easier.

I used to use a rasp to remove the sharp edges from the mold pieces now

I use the vegetable chopper because it cleans up with one swipe.

I removed the blocks and the layer of clay from the first mold piece.

It's nowhere near ready for piece number two. Tomorrow I'll show you all the tune up steps to get ready to pour again. I even need to smooth the back of the sculpture where the blocks made indentations. I could have put a buffer of cloth, maybe next time.

May your day be filled with smiles, Wendy
