I took a detour on the road to getting the moulds done. I began my week reorganizing, trying to make space for the plaster. That led me to the re-fires, the mask bowls from weeks back that were so close […]
I spent the week working on the nine wax models of the mask cups and bowls. About one more day to finish up. Then on to the moulds. I am faster at the wax modelling now than I was when […]
