New medallion!!!

Here it is, the new medallion!!!

Shown above is the clay original as I removed it from the mold this morning. There was a little damage to one ear and a section of mane, but I'm happy to say that the original has (mostly) survived the mold-making process!

Here's a photo from above to show the thickness of the medallion. I planned to cast it complete with base but to be honest I really like it just on it's own. There are some very thin areas that will be tricky to cast, but hey - I like a challenge, hehe!

This is the mold, it's currently sat on my desk here at work (it had to cure overnight and I couldn't wait until later tonight to see if it had worked so brought it to work with me - impatient as ever!), though to be honest silicon is quite smelly so I don't think my colleagues appreciate it much!

So next up, tonight I will test out the new mold and take a couple of casts from it, hopefully it has worked well and I will be able to de-mold without damaging the casts (the undercuts are something else on this piece), I'll post more photos as I get copies!

Details on the competition to follow too!
