The time came to experiment and make. I have purchased so forth ingredients:
- clay
- lego bricks
- latex
- plaster of paris
- alginate
- siligel
- metal gauze
- metal sheeting
- bees wax
I wanted to try a two part mould so I could cast a full object in the media of my choice. I collected an array of objects from around the house and my studio...

keys shells doll parts amulets animal objects teeth bones skull wire cogs flowers seed pods

| Siligel self hardening putty |
