The Pouring Vessel

Finally this piece is finished. It seemed to take forever, getting it just right. I created this piece from a mold. I made the mold last week and I from sculpted clay that was surrounding foam. Which ended up being kind of a bad idea. the clay kept wanting to shrink and kept cracking. I ended up using oil based clay to fill the cracks enough to take a mold from it. Of course I had to do touch up work on the mold afterwards, but today I casted the first piece out of it. I'm happy with the results, although it kind of makes me wanting to just get a 3D printer and design work on the computer and have the printer make it solid and then take a mold of that. Maybe in the future, hopefully the near future.
