Well, my materials I have been waiting on have arrived. For the final pieces I have chosen to use a very high grade Polyester Layup Resin with fiberglass to allow strength along with economy and most importantly ultra high heat resistance.
Because these pieces are cold cast metal on the surface I have chosen a clear uv resistant polyester gel coat to use with the metal powder. I am playing with different kinds of Patina to achieve different effects with the final look of the metal.
A big thanks to BITY Mold Supply for being my one stop shop for my mold materials as well as my Sculpt Nouveau Patina solutions to add extra personality to each piece.
I should have some photos to share in the coming week so keep your eyes peeled for that!
This blog is to document my latest art project exploring the body of a woman and the unique pronounced power of every piece and angle. Through the use of life-casting I will be capturing my vision of the female form exploring the lines and individual details of the woman's body and grace. Follow this journey as I plan on updating with interviews with my models, sneak previews into how each piece is molded and then cast.

Mold session 2 a success!
Here is an update from last Saturday. We had a great session with our two wonderful models. First up was Nadya. She was a ton of fun to work with and I think her personality and energy will show threw on the final piece she is helping us create.
Our second model Kitty Katastrophe was an equal delight! She collaborated with me to capture a pose I had been pondering on. The mold came out great and next week I will cast my positive!
Here are some photos from the session.

Prepping for round two of mold-making...
I am super excited to announce our second molding session coming up this Saturday October 8th.
I have two great models scheduled and I am trying to figure out how to fit in one more. This time around should go even faster and better then the last one. As with last time I will have photos of me and my team hard at work creating these molds in my studio.
On October 15th I will be ordering my supplies to start making the final art pieces so stay tuned for that!
