I documented all the steps, including the making of molds on my "other crafts" pages. I've been told they were a great help in starting many careers in this genre. I can't tell you what pages these instructions are on, but I posted the steps each time I made a mold. As far as undercuts, just draw lines on the sculpt to show where each mold piece will be cast. Then picture pulling the mold piece off. If you see any area where there's an undercut, then just fill it in with clay. Everything I've ever made is on my Gallery page. I am both danlovestikis and Wendy Cevola. Making tiki art is joyful. I hope you keep at it for years to come. Show your steps if you have time. Wendy
