Sword Gate Mold

Journal Entry: Thu May 2, 2013, 7:14 PM
Howdy ya'll! Been missing Charleston since I started working on this again.

Finished making the complete mold for the doors of the gate.
I really like the idea of it having a carved stone appearance so
I'm going to try to cast them in plaster.
And yes, I have never done a plaster cast so I can't wait to see what will happen.
If anyone has any recommendations of types of plaster to use I'd love to hear about it.
I know I will have to do a bit of chiseling and carving
after I cast it due to the mold not being perfect
but at least I have a well established design.
And it's square which makes me very happy!
Here's a pic:

It will measure about 4" x 3.5" .
Next, working on the top half of the gate
which holds the lantern!

Thanks to everyone who's been keeping up
with my mad experimenting!
Hope it's not been too boring. ;)
Be well all!
:peace: :love: :) and Harmony,
Melissa

Artist

As an only child, I've had a great bond with art being that it was my favorite form of amusement. Today, as a self taught artist, I've been developing my own techniques and style through studying and reading about others work. Rich cultural heritage and landscapes from around the world are great inspirations to my work. Some of my great artist inspirations are Tom Moberg, best known for his landscape sculptures in plaster; John Agnew, a master painter of nature and Tim Burton, an artist with a captivating imagination. Still evolving my own style more with each passing day, I have had many opportunities to share my art with others along my journey and wish to broaden my horizons.

When it comes to my sculptures, my true intentions are to create little worlds that captivate the imagination and transport one to a different place and time; bringing back the inner child within. Unique in their own way, most of my sculpture's hide elements of light.
