Facial casting
It’s been a while since I’ve done much casting, I did a friends pregnant belly recently but I’ve been jonsing to do some facial casts and masks. The husband and I had been discussing if our 3 year old would be a good model for a facial cast. I finally finished a huge project I’ve been working on (wedding dress alterations) and started busting out the casting and mask making materials. Tiny T takes an interest, so I discuss with her what it would take to do a facial cast on her. She’s game. We have a dry run, well, a wet run, I covered her face with wet wash cloths to see if she would sit there long enough and listen to my instructions. She did an awesome job so we busted out the plaster.
I am now the maker of a 3 year old’s facial cast. And I think that’s the only facial cast of a toddler in the whole wide world. Come tomorrow, we make a positive cast of it. And start mask making. If I can find my plasticine.
