Mold Making

Mold making with silicone.  I put too much catalyst in the silicone mix and it thickened too fast, so it got chunky as i applied it.  i had put vaseline on my shoulder and couldn't get it to stay on, so I decided to just do a test run on my wrist bc it wasn't lubricated and the silicone was sticking better.  I made a plaster shell to keep the mold stiff.  I was happy with how detailed the mold ended up being even as it was setting before i had the chance to apply it.  It picked up all of the texture--pores, hairs, veins.
