Just smashing out blog posts today hahaha might as well keep it up while I have the momentum going. Final post of the day is images from de-moulding I did this afternoon!

| Right after pulling the big plaster mould from the board! |
The plaster still felt a little damp at this stage, and I felt like I could scratch the plaster and ruin the mould if I wasn't very careful.

| The digging begins |
 |
| At this point I wasn't sure which side was up haha. but a bit of the mould is exposed! |
 |
| Managed to pull out a big chunk at once.. |
 |
| Tada! The clay came out in a few big chunks but I squished them back together. |
Don't worry the plaster flakes are from the sides.
 |
| Close up. It still had some clay in the grooves, but it looks really good! |

| Close-up of the clay that came out |
With Karen's permission, I left the plaster mould in the big metal airing (heating?) cabinet in 3D Lab 1 so that it could dry out further while awaiting silicone stuff. I also left the clay heart to air dry on a rack because why not. That's it for today! Will get more into the silicone research and purchasing information next post.
