Rats.

I think the mold-making/casting project I had going basically failed. The shape I was trying to cast was a little too weird I think, and the casting got stuck, like, REALLY stuck on the inside so I can't get the one practice casting out without totally fucking up the mold. Well, it might be sort of salvagable but not really. And casting stuff sets super quickly, and the vent holes were too small and they plugged up before I could even get the whole mold filled up. Oh well. So, I'm out ~$60, had a great time making a big mess, and learned a bit. I think I'll try it again and make a plaster mold like my big clay head. I won't be able to make duplicates that way, but it'd definitely be cheaper and will probably be easier to demold though a lot messier. (Take a chisel to it! Yeah!) And then if they work they'd all be one-of-a-kind. By necessity, but yeah.

I thought my hands were covered in clay dust, but I think upon closer inspection this might be a very very thin layer of plastic. No wonder it didn't come off in the shower.

Dang, it's after 2 already. No wonder I'm hungry.
