Re: Dang that Monster Clay!

Hey Chris,

Yeah, I ran a set of tests. I applied the silicone to the monster clay, some sculpy, a few household objects, etc. The silicone cured properly in all cases (including the leftover stuff in my mixing cup, but the stuff on the monster clay never cured...it just stays sticky and gooey.

I gave the clay to a friend's kids, so they'll have fun. I've bought some new monster clay and no issues since then.

Cheers

Re: melting gelatin edges

What are you using to melt your edges? There are more gentile blenders like witch hazel or harsher blenders like isopropyl alcohol or acetone. You can also heat up witch hazel to make it more aggressive if needed, but I've never had to.

I find it is best to use very little solvent on the brush and very lightly blend outward into the skin. It can be a slow process, but slow means more control and can help prevent taking too much away, as you can't easily add material back.

I usually use a soft round brush for this, since it's nice and gentle and has a surface area I can control well.

Ursula from The Little Mermaid

This is my interpretation of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
The prostethics (face and chest) are sculpted, casted in latex and then hand-painted by me.

Tree Character

I did all the steps involved in making this character. The design, molds, casting, applying, and fabricating of the finger extensions, beard, and costume. Latex bald cap applied was made by myself as well. The face appliances are foam latex along with the head and arm appliances.
