Moulds, moulds and moulds

Wednesday, February 20th 2008

Today was one of the last lessons concerning moulding. Since it’s the time of the year I made some eggs and especially to confuse everybody I also made a black pete. Moulding is fun, since everytime you make the same figure you can make it in other colors. This way they look different although the same mould has been used. The same thing with eggs, actually you only need a few moulds to make different colored eggs. See for yourself in the included examples.

Eggs and other figures

Wednesday, February 13th 2008

Right now it’s the time to learn how to make hollow forms. Not a lot of things to talk about, but a lot of practise is important.

I tried the egg forms I bought on the internet some time ago and wonderwell, it works. I also created a “Manneke pis” for my girlfriends Valentine.
