This occurred last Friday (20th) btw. I'm trying to blog as much as possible but it's such a strain to log everything on the day itself. I spent more money at the uni art store for the two bags of plaster, and the safety mask (breathing in dry plaster is very bad for the lungs!), though I already included this in the previous tally, so current cost of project is still at about £59.30.
Brought all the materials to another room in 3D lab 1 with the extractor table thing so the plaster wouldn't get all over the place.
Ready to go!
Built a sort of wall using the plaster sheet and tried to seal it with clay as well as possible.
Time to mix up the plaster! Karen offered to help so that I could document it, and I could try it for myself when I made another mould with the premade heart I ordered.
Sprinkle it with hands so its loose and not a whole chunk
Keep adding plaster until you see "islands" like this
Then get right in there and mix until there are no lumps
Tap tap tap out all the air bubbles
And pour!
Done for the day
Left the plaster in there to set for the weekend. I ended up working on some electronics stuff as well over the weekend, gonna blog about that before I reveal the results!
Update* Realised that the videos I added before were uploaded as images, reuploaded them onto YouTube to re-embed here, hence the later date of the video upload compared to the post.
