Second Day of Mold Making
Hey, don't forget to take some photos! The second day of casting was done horizontally and in sections.
I had also spent 4 hours the previous night shaving the hair off the front of my body. I layed on a copy of the illustration scaled to my height to get the poses correct.
hips to toes done and nearly hard, it will be removed when the chest reaches the hip seam. This allows my body to dump heat that is building up as the plaster sets. (Bags of ice were also draped on top of the stting mold sections.
Base to be used for second pose used to hold pose. Mold sections.
Mold Making done. On to connecting the sections.
Detail of inside of first mold. The dark areas show where massive clumps of hair were pulled out in the 45 minutes it took me to regain my freedom from it. Much of my hair is too light to be seen in this blurry shot. I lost hair eveywhere the plaster touched skin.
