I can even see the vertebrae and the dimple under the ribs. The mould causes mixed emotions: it’s so strange to see myself from the side, everything is not the same as in the mirror, so detailed. A minute later, both plaster halves lay on the floor, and I feel like I lost 10 kg. Despite Vaseline, short hair on the back of the head stuck in a mould, so he has to cut it off. The cherished ringing sounded, and my darling neatly separates the back from the front. Readiness is defined by “metallic” ringing when knuckled. When the plaster is laid, it remains to wait for drying.After that, the front detaches from the back as easily as the two halves of the Kinder Surprise Egg. The back part overlaps the front for 1 cm.īefore that, the seams should be densely lubricated with petroleum jelly so that it comes on the front of 2.5 cm.Standing as a guard soldier I try not to lean forward, which is not so easy to do: the plaster is heavy, and gravity has not gone away. After that, the vertical strips lay on top of the horizontal ones, also 3 layers each.If the bandage from the front piece sticks with the back mould, it will be difficult to separate them. On the seam lines, my sculptor gently closes the future junction of the front and the back with the bandage folded in half. In horizontal rows, a strip by a strip (3 layers each), plaster covers me on the front.
It’s cold, plaster drops roll down from my neck, and leave a white path behind.To then easily part the front half from the back, he aligns the edges of the front plaster stripes with the lines he drew on me before. We make the front and the back separately, so I won’t stick in the mould. The dust hasn’t settled yet, when my darling dips the plaster strip into clean water for a couple of seconds, squeezes out the water and instantly puts the bandage on my neck in front.My sculptor opens the plaster package with precise movements, determines the length of the first piece by eye, multiplies it by 3 and tears the strip from the roll with a noise. This will make the mould firm enough to keep the shape and not get wet with moisture from papier-mache. Each layer would be made of 3 layers of plaster bandage. We’ve decided, that the final plaster mould would consist of two layers: one horizontal and one vertical. When the praparation with all the materials, a place and a right pose for my future dress form was done, we were ready to get to the point.
