Im trying to make a plaster copy of my hand so i can sculpt a predator hand
A while ago i was told how to do this using alginate and plaster i bought some alginate and plaster and followed what i was told unfortunately screwing it up what i did was put my hand in an empty fizzy drinks bottle but because it wasnt big enough for me to stretch my hand out and i cut the bottle down way too much i now have two fists sitting on my desk that look quite impressive considering it was my first attempt at anything like this, and have caused a few remarks when people come to visit and pass my room and spot them
i now have ran out of alginate and am going to buy some more but before i do would it be a viabe method for me to make a duck tape dummy version of my hand make sure i use enough duct tape to make it water tight and then pour plaster in and stand it up inside a bucket so i end up with a plaster hand whcih wont have the same texture as id get form the above method but would be a hand my size
or is there a better way?
Any input and advice would be great
