A little Process

(Images clockwise) A water saturated ceiling tile, mixed down with a hand-held drink mixer from CVS ($15-$19). Basically, some paper and wood pulp (I guess the same thing) and calcium carbonate.

Plaster mold (in a kitty litter box) of an Ikea bowl (girlfriend let me use [those are her tootsies]). I just needed something quick and easy and with no undercuts to test this whole deal.

Drying the mold with a fan. Actually, I already tried to cast the pulp mixture with little success because the mold was to wet (I'm a little impatient). The mold is in the oven (gas-on warm) as I write. More to come.
