I better hurry up and open it before it explodes!!!<br /><br />Karen, yes, you have to soak the mold every time you want to cast, so the wax doesn't stick to it.<br /><br />Nancy, thank you so much for the wonderful summary!!!!Corina S.

He described the locaton as "maybe an artist's studio but so full of wax I couldn't really tell." <br /><br />The artist, who suffered contusions, collusions and delusions, and has not yet been identified, was taken away on a stretcher. Though disoriented, she was heard muttering, "Read the blog post. Read the blog post."Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-72845012875169396492011-06-23T08:38:45.853-04:002011-06-23T08:38:45.853-04:00Wow!

Takes me back to my days as a potter, but your method is more accessible and low-tech than those I learned way back when. Can't wait to see what you do with this. Hopefully in 2012 I will be able to attend one of the post-con workshops.Jane Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062718110759969682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9064353933668888339.post-49725699881771761912011-06-23T02:55:47.171-04:002011-06-23T02:55:47.171-04:00Dang Nancy, I took notes but thanks to you I only ...Dang Nancy, I took notes but thanks to you I only have to go to this post on your blog. Thanks for the really great synopsis. I left that day as you did with the banana still in the mold. When I got back to the cottage where we were staying I did break it open. I thought it would be a bear to get apart but once I found where the two pieces came together it took a moment of concentrated strain and I must admit I was doubtful but it then easily came apart and I got that banana out lickity split. I let it dry some and wrapped it in a 2 days after for it's long ride home. So it is now sitting in the studio and I'm planning on trying it out Saturday. I'm looking around the house for my daughters toy ladle (from about 30 some odd years ago)but I have lost track of it since the move. Durn it would be perfect. Anyway blue banana Saturday. One question all of you from the class can help. In the post you say soak the mold if you are going to use right away. I thought you had to soak it anytime you are going to cast. Thanks again.Karen Frazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459235388688855101noreply@blogger.com
