Progress on the goggles:
Lense rings! Grooved out the inside so that the lenses will sit snug without falling out.

Tryin' em on for size. Decent fit!

All-Metal Business Card Holder

Had a boring evening and too much alginate sitting around, so I decided to experiment; molded my hand in the alginate and melted down some tin. Poured the molten tin in the wet mold with a loud hiss. I knew from the start that it wouldn't be a good lifecast...but I wasn't sure exactly what I would get. See for yourself:

Spats!

Using Threadbanger's DIY vid, I made a pair of spats for my halloween costume!
For a quick project I didn't want to commit any real time to, they turned out good enough. It'll do.

I've been sculpting 2 neurosurgery products for CJDP Inc. Waiting to hear about a patent for them before I can post any pics, but they'll be awesome.

Goggles Update

So the clay I was using was far too soft, and wouldn't keep the nice sharp edges I was looking for. So I peeled off the details and molded the core in alginate. Smeared Bondo in the mold and Sanded it down. Spray paint helped me find the details that needed filling. So here's where we're up to:




Next, I'll add the rings around the lens holes and temple plates. Last, add the faux rivets and cut out the strap slots. Can't wait to mold and cast this puppy.
