the start of a collection

These babies are the first five of twenty-five I am making. They have cast resin heads and cloth bodies. And four arms.

Congratulations to me!

Today Eastern Michigan University purchased one of my pieces to put in their permanent collection! To celebrate I am posting a picture of me taken by a profesional photographer in which I look amazing!

silicone molds

I used SortaClear40 from Smooth-On and drove to Grand Rapids to use the equipment at Kendall to make these gorgeous molds under Phil's supervision. (thank you, Phil) All of that couldn't make me take a picture of them in focus, though.
