This was the new project. Don't stop at this post, there's two more below. I covered my hand and part of my forearm in crisco (blech) then put it in Dermagel. It was a long process. After the mold was completed, it was filled to make the result below. I don't remember what the stuff was called, but I was so excited. I regretted the position for my hand though; it hurt.

After this long process, this was the end result so far. More work to come. I didn't get two fingertips, but it'll work to my advantage I think considering the sculpture that I'm after. Not bad for my first try.

One mask down, two to go. I painted this mask with black, brown, and burgundy shoe polish. The brush was coarse, so I jabbed at the mask with it to give it a really cool-looking texture. I'm quite proud of it.

Phase two. All three masks have been formed. Now they have to dry. More to come next week.

Work in progress. More pics to come.

My first sculpture in class.
