Hi, my wife is just about to try her hand at sculpting her first pred mask, but a few things are puzzling us at the moment -
When you've got the shape blocked out, how do you keep track of exactly where the eyes are? With the constant refining/reshaping, could we end up with the eyes out of place?
Can the sculpt be used first to make a silicone mould for casting resin, then used to make a plaster mould for latex casting?
Usurper - you mentioned in your journey thread that you cut the ears and nose off the mannequin head to make it easier to get the head out at the end. We thought that the 2 part mould would come away, leaving the clay to be peeled off the mannequin head.
I have looked for answers to these questions, no luck, or maybe I'm just looking into it too deeply?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers folks.
