This Santa is one I love. ============================= The next steps on making the mold for the Sacramento Crawl mug 2017. Also lunavidogames wish. Once the plaster is hard I remove the box. I then scrape the edge so that it is rounded and not sharp. We put on straps so that it can be turned over without falling apart. This is where Dan comes in very handy. I make big thick molds that really test his muscles. Once it is over I removed the straps, the blocks and the layer of clay. I am very careful to not move the sculpt. I need it to stay in place in the mold slab. Now it is ready for some fine tuning. I use this tool and I scrape the plaster so that it is very flat and up tight to the sculpt. I do it all the way around the sculpt. More steps soon. Wendy
