The China Doll

I posted the following in another thread months ago. I have been making her mold now.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I am putting the finishing touches on one of my girls. The other one is ready to mold. I want to mold both at the same time. When I open the polyurethane rubber I like to use it all up within a couple of days. This hot humid air I live in is death to opened polyurethane. I have a spray can of the X-Tendit that is supposed to help prevent this, but it doesn't help much. Here is the China Doll
And ready to mold.
It takes a lot of clay to make clay dams like this, but I had the good fortune, back when Dick Blick was selling Kleen Klay for a dollar a pound, to buy about fifty pounds of it. Kleen Klay has since gone out of business. It's sulfur free so you don't have to worry about rubber molds.

Now for today's action. I have made a polyurethane mold of the front of her, and the plaster mother mold. I am ready to make the rubber mold of her backside tomorrow.
