Mold Work
The casts are coming along nicely. So far I have had two successes. The third attempt never cured (poor mixing job). The image on the left shows the top of the mold. The aluminum foil is to keep the urethane (amber material) from sticking to the wood. On the right shows the cast after I took the wood top off. The pink is the silicone rubber face of the mold. The amber and pink look pretty beautiful/disgusting together. The next step will be to take the two casts and combine them into one (mirror image) and then make a mold of that.

Learning the Windmill
I used to breakdance in the 80's and never learned the windmill. Lately, for some strange reason, I've been thinking about it a lot. So much so that I had a dream the other night about actually trying to learn. We'll see. If I ever get a large enough space to practice in where no one can see me embarrass myself, I think I might give it a try. If it works out, I will definitely add it to the slew of YouTube videos on the subject.

I'm a Little Late
A friend referred me to an artist who is working in a similar vein. Sometimes this can really suck and other times it's just what one needs to work through an obstacle. I'm not sure which occasion this one fits into at this point. The artist is Jill Downen and you can watch an interview with her at Bruno David Gallery.

Back to the Drawing Board
The ceiling tile test was a bust. As you can see the material has refused to come out of the kitty litter box shaped mold. I'm not ready to give up though.
