Today was the day! Vogel was finally ready to be made into a mold.
After all the work, he was finally ready for Bill to show me how to make the plaster mold from the clay sculpture (Vogel) Bill and I created. The mold will actually be in three separate parts, the first of which we made tonight. Bill will make the simpler second piece once this mold sets up enough, and the third more complicated piece we will mold on Sunday. Then after the molds have dried enough, we can finally pour our casting.
Although it seems unlikely we will be able to make very many of these marionettes, we should be able to make two or three. They will be our samples to show at the event. We will be able to take orders and send them to customers. As for my hand puppets, those should sell for around 20 bucks apiece, and I can take orders for those too.
I am just so excited to see Vogel come together. I can't wait to see him! From my sketch, to the clay sculpture, to the casting. Then finally the painting, the body and the strings to make him come to life.
