This whole project takes far more time then I thought it will but I am very happy with it :)
The hardest part was making models for my moulds - it was crucial to get them right so they will look good and cast well. I started with one piece wich was then reproduced 4 times to make my first mould.
As a next step I have introduced some changes to the first model and again reproduced it few times, arranged and made another mould and so on.
In the end I have made 4 different forms by altering one piece of plaster.
After few weeks of working with plaster I have changed my approach to whole mould making - I started to enjoy it and I was surprised with the results I was getting. I think that working with plaster if far more precise then working in clay.
I was casting my pieces for last 2 weeks and bave 3 of them bisqued. I am experimenting with the surface decoration now.
Please feel free to comment and let me know what do you think about them :)
