I've been steadily working on getting the new eagle blank mold up and running and am waiting on a layer of mod-podge to dry as I post this.
Since Crystumes and I collaborated on it's original sculpt, when we stopped sharing studio space I left the old mold behind, taking a single blank to work on tweaking the sculpt...hopefully eliminating some symmetry issues I've had a couple clients point out. I am pretty stoked to have a usable mold again, and it's not been without trial. I actually had cast a modified sculpt last week, but found that when I was pulling the silicone from it I really should have had mold release. Sadly I wasted a nice chunk of my casting silicone doing this.
SO! Now I have my mold release, thanks to some advice on the perfect multi-purpose formula. HEY HEY! Yay for not having to buy separate materials for casting seperate types of materials! Now I can cast ALL THE THINGS--without worry that materials will be left behind in the mold. <3
I won't likely make it much further this evening/morning than adding a couple more layers of the sealant on the plaster mold--and will be casting it's first blank in the morning after getting a spot of shuteye!
Thanks for looking at my block of writing!

Anyway--I wanted to post and share. Sharing is caring, right?
Speaking of, I am going to make it more habitual to be posting things via Instagram, if anyone has an account, they're welcome to find me there. I share this with the disclaimer that everyday life stuff gets posted there as well, sometimes involving lewd commentary and graphic content (sorry guys, no titty shots or dick pics though)-

for even more graphic nonsense and ramblings, my twitter is a good place to follow as well, and my instagram always cross-posts there as well-
