Thanks for looking in....
i am am going to sculpt a Heath Ledger Joker bust which I would like to eventually cast out to create a silicone bust. The questions I have are:
Which is is the best clay to use for a long term project? I am sure it will take a while to complete as I am a novice.
I would like to avoid having to bake or fire the sculpt, is that okay for a mole to be made around something not hardened?
Which is the best method to use to cast from the clay? Which materials are best to create a mole that works well with silicone and is best to remove the clay from?
i have some other questions regarding the silicone but as I haven't even begun, I thought it best to just get going first and be sure I am using the best materials for this particular type of project.
Thanks in advance for pointers and advice, really looking forward to doing this, as a perfectionist I want to get it right!!
