Three Children Brush-On Eurythane Mold

The Brush-On eurythane mold for the Three Children is complete. It needs to cure overnight, and tomorrow the rigid mother mold gets added on top.

Here's the progress on the Visitation Armature. Note the Christ Child and St John the Baptist in-utero. =)



And,it turned out that the Three Children required some repair work prior to mold making; so, once again, I'll plan on starting the mold tomorrow. Here is one of the cracks. This is why a clay model needs an armature!

Location:Mold Making Prep and Visitation Armature Progress

Photographs

Today, photographs. I had intended to blog about the mold making process for the three children, but I did not in fact make the mold as there was an obligation to my landlord and a broken bike (my transportation to work) to attend to. Tomorrow, God willing, I will blog about the mold. So, in the few minutes I had to make a little art, here's what I did: took a few pictures of my beautiful home.

Don't Use Steel Wire for an Armature

Today, I learn that aluminum wire works better than steel wire for armature wire. The reason why: It flexes a lot. Since I had purchased a lot of steel wire, I am going to make do. Here's photos of making armature wire and an armature.
Here's how it started.


And, here's how it ended.

First Visitation Figure Armature the Garden Art Table

Here is the first armature for the Visitation.



ALSO, today I worked at the Frogtown community house and garden. We have a table in the garden for art making! While I was there, one of the neighbors was having a poetry recitation with her kids and another family. The garden is a happening place.






One of the girls even did some wire work with me and made a zoo.

Mold Making and Visitation Armature

Prepped the downstairs studio for mold making for the Three Children. Since the plaster mold experiment did not work, I am going back to the brush-on eurythane mold. Ordered materials and rearranged the studio today.

Then, I started researching armatures for large human figure sculptures for the Visitation. Here's the armature materials. God willing, tomorrow I begin work on the armature.
