The redneck mother mold was a success.
We pulled the crystal skull out in all it’s gooey glory Teusday night. Damn rubber gloves busted but I managed to get the stuff off before we got any chemical burns. the skull is now drying in the garage. Still. The stuff we used is REALLY not meant to cast things this large, so it’s a slow process. Teusday it was down right gooey. Yesterday it was sticky. This morning, just a little tacky. We’re getting there.
Once it’s all dry we’ll get some pictures.
And, went to work on the pinata again last night, to be greated with yet another nugget of info about that paper mache glue I made…
In addition to fermenting, it freezes rather easily… as I had the second batch in the fridge to prevent it suffering the same fate as the former. Nothing else in the fridge is freezing.
On the plus side, it heated up just lovely. So…if I have leftover I may just purposely freeze it for a later date.
So, with the weekend approaching, our goals include finishing this pinata so I can get back to full time Halloween focus, finishing the mold of the little wooden skull, Getting some work on that next batch of shrunken heads, tending to my precious little Halloween grasses in the garden, and getting Kyle going on skull production.
I was also notified of some broken links off to the right. They are now fixed.
