Mermaid Update!

This is my first try at wax casting.
wax tail.
This is what it looks like now, when I take the metal casting class I'll Cast her in bronze.
I had to cut her into pieces before I started the mold.
clay tail.
This is a rubber mold I had to mix.
My plaster casts.
I cut the rubber mold open but left the clay inside so the mold wold not collapse, then I made a plaster cast over it. Then I took the clay out and filled it with wax.
