i spent this week making the plaster molds of my body. i was lucky enough to have the help of alex, sarah, reed and regan. it was AWESOME. basically, i would spread a different part of my body in vaseline every day and then just let them glob and gloop the plaster all over me. the most difficult part was my face. i had to lay completely still for 25 minutes with two straws sticking up my nose to breath. it was hard not to laugh, being able to hear what everyone was saying and not being able to communicate in any way. in the end, i got an awesome mold of my face. unfortunately, i lost about half of my eyelashes, but i happen to have a lot so it is not too noticable. next week i will start the was casting. i have decided to dismiss the idea of multiples, due to time and to lack of reason. right now i am playing with different materials to embed in the castes (rope may be an integral part). I am also looking at incorporating old wood and furniture. i have a great old chair that the figure may sit on / become a part of.
so EXCITING!!
