Casting III

 

Ready for Surgery?

 

Now that it's dry, you're ready to cut the casting off the skull.
Using scisors, begin cutting off the raised ridge from ear to ear until it comes apart.

Cut away or fold under any exposed foil.
Piece your casting back togther, cleaning up the cut edge as needed.
To hold it together, I just started applying layers of Mache' along the cut,
but you can use glue or small pieces of tape if you wish.

At this point, you will want to add a few more layers onto your project for added strength
and to even out any thin spots etc.. You can build up the teeth, add a center nose-bone, ears or any other details you might want. Once it's thoroughly dry, you can sand it down smoothe
or leave it with a nice wrinkled skin.
From here, it's on to the Final Layer!!
