This week we learned how to make molds in preparation for our final project. I started out by measuring out the ingredients to make the negative of my figure:

Next, I mixed the liquid until it was a consistency I was happy with and held my finger in it for around 5 minutes. Looking back I wish I put my finger in deeper in order to get a larger mold. he is the negative of my finger:

After that, I was able to pore the plaster into the negative and add the screw in order to complete my finger. I had to make my own jig for one of the screws as all the actual ones were being used:

Once I let this cure overnight, I removed them and put them on a box to be spray painted. Below is a before and after I used the blue spray paint and clear coat:

After I was done I cleaned up the table:
