Since my tutorials where pushed back a week, I finaly found the chance to meet up with the casting instructor. I had made an appointment to get instruction on a cold rubber mold (silicone), but since he has a lot of introduction groups it's been difficult to get in between. I had already ordered the stuff that I needed for this mold so I could start right away. I am not going to explain the way it works right now (I am taking pictures of the whole process and want to do so once I am finished), but I will just show some pictures. It is more of a casting study for me since I really want to learn how to do these things on my own once I am finished here (now I am sometimes still a bit insecure about making molds even when I have done so before). So I decided to take a very common shape (a head bust) so I can learn some standard stuff. I already have some molds ready for my car parts which I want to do in glass so I am going to make those wax figures when I get to that point with my new mold.
It feels good do do some practical stuff again after having to focus a bit much on the theoretical stuff and crits/tutorials. I am a bit nervous about next weeks crits, not becausse of the crits but becausse I feel we are supposed to have a piece of "work" ready. The problem is that the stuff I'm working on takes a long time and thus is not going to be ready for then. I also don't feel like just making something for this crit since I really want/need to focus on my main work right now. Ah well we'll see how it go's
