I have the first half of the arms mold poured! I tried last week but the mold compound kept attaching to itself when I poured the second half (and this was after several layers of mold release before pouring that second part!! I so hope it works better this time around!!).

I am working on the head for this little edition now.

I think I will charge right around $100 for each baby with an edition size of 10-15. I will know more after a successful resin pour, This is the lowest I have ever seen a resin mini from a limited edition go for but that way those who can't afford the higher prices still have an opportunity to have one!

I did a trial run tonight...well actually 4 trial runs. I felt terribly discouraged afterward as there were bubbles AND I didn't like the feel of the resin. Now I know I have to use a porcelain filler with the resin to make it high quality. It will take practice to get those bubbles out which I hate because practice means waste and the materials cost so darn much!! Here are some pics of my first run after having made the molds:

Liz, I have been following you on facebook with this new adventure. You are stubborn and I know you will get it right, just takes practice. Hang in there, one step at a time, one day at a time. Walk away when you are frustrated..You will get it right, that is just you.

Your little one on ebay is ever so darn precious. I wish I had the money to bid on her. I so want to have one of your babies, they would be perfect models for my accessories.

Hope you are feeling better today. Have a great day. Remember, one step at a time.

Thanks Lorna!! I am waiting for the baby to sell this week before buying more supplies. I will order the porcelain filler online and get more resin and mold compound at Hobby Lobby. I am also now looking into getting a table top vibrator table that might help with those bubbles!! My friend has offered to come over and help pour. Here is what I must do within about 2 minutes:

heat the mold in microwave for 1 minute,
measure out the 2 resin components,
Pull mold out of microwave, dust with baby powder, apply cardboard to sides and rubber band the mold together, mix dye with one resin camponent, combine resin parts together and mix until fully blended, use medicine syringe and suck up resin, inject resin in mold while squeezing and moving the mold, set mold down and pound around it to drive air bubbles up and out of resin, wait until the resin hardens (about 2 minutes), then remove resin parts out of mold and let them finish curing (they get hot until they have fully cured).

WHEW!!

I took the offer from my friend to help as that is one stressful 3 minutes!!

Liz
