But in my 3D class we finally finished our plaster-mold project! That was quite the project and super time consuming, but I'm really really happy with my final results so I think it was worth it. I've been taking pictures of the steps in the process and I want to put a little slideshow together once I have some pictures of the final project.
The Process: First we chose an object to create a mold of, and I chose a back massager. We made plaster molds of our objects, which involved a nine hour day down in the plaster pit, which was brutal. Then we slip casted for a good two weeks straight, and I felt like I was taking care of a small child. I think I mentioned before that I named my mold Russel. I mean, why not? I was spending so much time with it. :) Then we altered all of our casts; I ended up just creating holes at the end of each of the little massagers, since it was already such a cool shape. Some people had to do a lot of modifying to get their objects to work out. Next we created modules out of ours modified casts. These modules had to be able to be laid out horizontally to create a repeat pattern, and also stacked vertically to create a tower. I just connected the massagers back to back. They look really neat and organic! I think they are really interesting, and the tower it makes when stacked is so awesome. I'm really proud of it!
