Sealing the clay

Creating Latex Creature Head, originally uploaded by Jamie Durrant.

I got to the point where I was happy that I couldnt add much more detail to the sculpture. I coated it with a fine shellac so that it wouldn’t dry out in the molding process, it’s also less like to be damaged by tools/fingers in the fraught business of plaster molding.

Update : Finished, cast in latex and painted.
