A larger attempt...


Trying the previous example but slightly bigger and not in a ball (like a did before) but concave...so when the plaster is thrown in and wiped over I'll have a half hole-y half solid blob-ish shape. Hopefully.


Sadly the damn thing broke when getting it out of the mold. Someone in my class suggested I add water based PVA to strengthen it, keeping in mind it would take a little longer to dry, and maybe some rock dust. Well I only had the PVA, added that and it turned the plaster more brittle. The bloody stuff crumbled!
But my idea worked, this is what I was after. I'm loving it!

Rubber cut outs.

Another glorious material from Reverse Art Truck, Ringwood.
Just bought it to see what I could do with it and so far I've established they're staple-able. :)
Not overly fascinating so far, but I'm sure I'll find something to do with them. Melt them together, layer them, something. Really heavy and don't hold their shape, so obviously not something majorly 3D.
Sew them together maybe? Staples kinda look ugly, but maybe en masse they may not.
