1) This first image shows the mould after the silicone was poured in and allowed to set. This is how it looked when I came in to de-mould the following morning.
2) The mould after the plastic wall was stripped off.
3) After peeling off the silicone mould from the base board, the chanvant 'neck' base and air dry clay plugging could be seen. The clay simply crumbled away from the silicone, but I had to cut the mould slightly and dig out the chavant. This was okay though, as the silicone mould would have had to be cut in order to get out the resin casts later on. I then cleaned out the mould, ready for resin.
4) After mixing up the correct ratios of resin, I poured the mixture into the mask cast mould, as well as a little prototype maquette mask I'd been working on previously. This would then dry solidly in the next half hour, ready to be popped out and painted or experimented with.
