First batch of slip casted fingers was a success.
They will be part of a sculpture, some have been modified after the slip cast, which I didn’t know I could do.
Peace out!

Learning something new this last month: making a 2-part mold for slip casting.
Part 1, half of the mold is done. Thanks #tikitechnicaltuesday for teaching me.
Fave part: sticking fingers in creamy alginate.
Worst: breaking master fingers.
