While mixing up the silicone with the paint to paint my first heart, I had bits of leftover silicone already mixed, and decided to brush that into the now-empty mould to see how it might turn out. This is also partially to see if I could make a heart with more evenly thick walls, since the first one turned out very bottom-heavy.
This 2nd heart is much closer to what I pictured, and since the colours are less realistic, potentailly more viable to display if people find the first one too gory. I also like that it's thin enough to be kind of translucent when backlit. Will KIV and see how things go. I still have some of the Dragon Skin left if I wanna paint this heart as well.
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.

| Since the first layer was from leftovers I didn't quite have enough once again, but tried to keep it along the seam lines |

| More silicone! |

| A third layer to seal things in. Also hey Dickens |

 |
| Spent more time really pulling up the mixture to the sides to avoid it pooling |
 |
| At this point I wasn't happy with the thickness, put it back in the mould and added one last layer |

| Drag drag the material up |

| How it turned out in the end. Haven't painted it yet though. |
