More Mammaries= Mega Mams with Belly Rolls

This plaster mold was from a wax pattern I made many months ago in 2006. The plaster mold of the pattern, it has been drying since Feb 1st . The longer you leave a mold to dry the stronger it is. That sure showed up in this on. No fissures anywhere. I placed powders in the areola area then laid frit into the mold to give it shading. I then place sheet glass over the frit to cut down on the bubbles and increase the transparency. It's almost finished I need to make a bead for the nipple ring. The first two torched beads I made did not work out ....try, try again...

nipple ring is on the right in the photo below, it's a biggy.

The glass unframed is 10"x12"x 1/4'"




Here it is framed approx. 13"x14"

The Quilt Collaboration

Pacfic Northwest Underwater scene
depicting my family as well

The Quilt Collaboration is a virtual quilt with 64 people from Warm glass website collaborating. Each making a 8X8" glass tile using the theme Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. It will first be shown as a photo virtual quilt. Each person is to complete the project by making tile that is personally challenging. and then photographing the work and emailing it to Toni the person putting it all the tiles together for us. Someday it may become a physical quilt..who knows.. I made an under water scene of the north Pacific coast.
I started my under water scene, witha pattern clay. The challenge for me is the longer slower, casting times ,resulting in getting more bubbles out of the glass and casting thicker and the frit/pate de verre (meaning literally paste of glass) technique. Then I filled the plaster mold with larger frit. I am happy with the result. The shells look real when you are up close and when you touch them.
