NEW DOLL MOLD FINISHED


setting up my fairy sculpture
Titania
for molds


4 days and the result is good
few bubbles and chips
the sculpture was soggy due to a coating of lacquer, or perhaps 
Florida humidity 
experimenting with different sealers
 will be going back to enamels, they protect better on paper clay
I toss out all my sculptures once they have be made into molds
the sculpture is never usable again


 for the last 5 years I have made many molds
this is number 10 that will be hopefully usable
part of the porcelain process creating molds
I like to have lots of dolls to cast
now Titania dries for a month
another exciting aspect of creating in 
porcelain
