Relief Casting Progress

It has emerged!

I was beginning to fear that my plaster mold would never release from the wooden block. After a week, I decided to lift it up a butter knife. In the process, I chipped off the uppermost portion of the composition – which is disappointing, but not the worst case scenario.

I spent some time sanding the mold and removing the rough edges, however, I am also planning to further refine some areas of the composition before I begin casting.

In terms of my plans for casting, I have shredded small pieces of colored construction paper and left them to soak for the paper cast. I plan to pour concrete in the mold tomorrow, and, as for the third casting medium, I would like to use chocolate.

Hope you all are doing well!
