Hi Johanna
Thank you for your kind comment!
Once you have taken the plaster cast, you soft soap the cast and then pour plaster into it in order to create a positive impression. When the plaster has set, you remove the bandages and you soft soap the positive, build clay walls around it and then you pour fresh plaster on top of that. Then you have your mold!
You can then place your clay inside your mold and create a torso….If you scroll through my blog you can find posts showing how to make plaster casts.
I hope this helps!
Anna

[...] ‘Wind in my heart’ ceramic torso (via Annakeiller’s Blog) Posted on February 25, 2011 by Anna I have always loved this Talking Head song and so I decided to write some of the lyrics on one of my ceramic torsos. I've added a pair of wings on her shoulder. See more torsos at http://www.annakeiller.com … Read More [...]
