hang10tiki thankyou for my morning smile.

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

More steps of making the mold for the Sacramento Crawl mug 2017 which is also lunavideogames Wish (maybe)

I had the mold on it's side exposing the bottom. I carefully removed the blocks and the clay.

Now I righted the mold and I painted on 4 layers of mold soap. This is dangerous and a face mask and gloves should be used when applying.

The mold is a weird shape so I had to build a dam to hold the plaster in place.

Back when we were in the middle of this mold I set up the boxes to make molds of the other two wall hangings.

First I put down clay and then pressed the sculpt into it. This will prevent plaster from getting under the sculpt.

Snakes were placed at the seams and rubbed with a wet paper towel so the seal is better.

We mixed more plaster and poured it into the box 2 inches deep.

These are just one piece molds.

Well this was a great day with three molds made. It was a long day and there's still the clean up to do.

Dan is such a good sport posing for me when he is exhausted.

Tomorrow we will open the molds to see if they worked. Cheers, Wendy
