Mango Mammaries

Well I went to the market and purchased 6 beautiful mangos they had to be just right size, shape, form and stem ( nipple) structure. I will never look at a mango the same again hee hee. I came home cast the mangos in clay and left the wet clay to dry . Then placed the clay mold in the kiln.






<-shows four empty mango molds ( the dark circle is the pot melt disc that I didn't use) and lip molds on the top and left side of pic.

Then: I then filled the molds with glass frit/shards. The bottom right is a tiny pot melt into a booby mold to see if I could get a swirl in the booby. In the back ground is red glass for top lips, bottom lips mold is at far left edge. I want to slice the bars to use in other face windows or....

any way back to the mango mammaries here is the last pics of the little castings my first .....................

Odd "mam" out the center mam is the pot melt there is a bit of red swirl that I like . Oh I do have a lot of fun..
