Dance of Pisces
"Dance of Pisces," wax sculpture
This is a wax sculpture I made in 3-D Design. It's based on an Escher design. It's about 12" across. I made one plaster of Paris mold, and then cast three fish in blue wax and three in orange, and painted the details with acrylic paint. Then I interlocked the pieces and mounted them on a piece of foam backing.
No, Kat, I made this when I was going to LLCC. I still have the mold, but I can't remember how I made the mold. It involved making the thing in clay, I think, then putting it into a frame filled with plaster-of-paris, from which you get the mold. So, you see, I wouldn't be any good at a demo. LOL.
Drat. Oh well............. I'm sure if I searched it out on the internet, I could find out, but.....I'm not sure it'll make it up to the top of my priority list. Thanks anyway....
VERY cool CC! Is this something you made recently? I'd be interested in learning how to do this sometime! Maybe a workshop at The Eclectic???
