I have the 1st section of the little mold made, after it hardens I can mold on the next section, it will take 3, maybe 4 pieces. Mold started of my lion mask The mold is done and I made a cast in it to see how it looks, it can be used with the clay\u00a0 backer formed and shaped with the template I made earlier. Now I can take this and incorporate him into the new clay backer and while the plaster cast is still wet make a mold of the whole thing since the rubber I use is unaffected by moisture in the model. This would have to be done on the moist clay once formed since clay shrinks as it dries and plaster does not. I went ahead and shaped the clay backing block for the lion with the template box and just set the lion in it&#8217;s approximate position for the photos and then sealed it up in a plastic bag to keep it from drying too much too quickly, once the clay sort of firms up I can remove the sides of the box and finish and tool texture the 4 sides and the face nicely, and then look at setting the lion in and filling the gaps around the sides of it.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/randallwolff.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_2503-1024x768.jpg"}
