Let production commence.



Needs some touchup and reinforcing, but the process is going to work.

Looks like my guess was correct on who would win this part...

Is this a ghost pumpkin?
It looks like a ghost pumpkin. From Pac-man. With sinister eyes. Plus it's white

Yeah, I could have smoothed out the top coat more, but I'm leaving the imperfections specifically to give some variation when I start painting/finishing.  Ridges added to all the 'cuts' to give it depth.  Ready to start wiring and adding a "neck".



BU, I've been VERY pleased with my new clay so far:  5 parts celluclay, 2 parts all purpose joint compound, water to the consistency you want, flour if you get a bit too much water.  I mix it up in an old busted kitchen mixer with the bread hooks. 

The joint compound makes the celluclay a LOT easier to work with than just using it straight up.  Sure, I could make my own version of celluclay, but I'm lazy. 

That said, considering a major change:  Using casting tape (as in broken arm casting) and Apoxie clay instead of plaster wrap and paper mache.  Trying to determin if the increase in cost (of the clay, the tape is no more than plaster wrap) would be worth the added sturdiness.

Is this on the mold or casting end?

The fiberglass casting?  On the casting end.

Wind Chill: -34 American

There's no more snow to blow around, it's all stripped and moved down wind, but I got to drive through a dirt/sand drift today...at least the sand is giving traction to the ice from no one plowing. 

Oh, and it seems -30ish is the limit of my car's radio.  The screen went all garbldeygook.  Don't know if it'll come back when it warms up or not.
Hahaha! I laugh at you up north.  ;lol
Where I live, deadly cold up north means you might want to put on a jacket - no pressure.
Of course, I miss snow... I haven't seen it for a really long time.

That would be my description of it prior to my modification.  With the joint compound and using the mixer it comes out closer to cookie dough, which at least I can work with.

It might be better for casting - when I work it by hand, it always dries lumpy, but takes a nice smooth shape from a mold, provided you don't mind filling in the odd air-bubble hole.
