3d using sticks and wire. part 2

this is the bottom half. her legs are bent. loops are feet and the square at the top is her bottom. sticking out because she is bending.

3d using sticks and wire.

im using garden wire and some light sticks to make a model of a dance movement i saw at drawing classes.  ive looped the wire to make the feet and joined the sticks where her knees would be.

i would use cling film the next time for a smoother finish. but the cast is fine. im happy with that.

after few minutes in the freezer the chocolate was set. it was a bit crinkly because of the greaseproof paper. the cast looked better and smoother.

week 6 and 7 chocolate casting 2

because we wanted to eat the chocolate i placed some greaseproof paper onto the mould. then i filled it with the melted chocolate.  i also painted some cooking oil onto the paper. i then put all in freezer.

when the plaster hardens i take it off and allow to dry fully.
