I need to make a casting of my chest and neck to make bronzes from how do I do it?
I need to make faux bronzes of my chest and neck for jewelry displays .I want to be able to make a mold to cast the busts and then do the faux bronzing.
You need to make sure that you understand what an undercut is. You can’t have any, otherwise you are not going to get your form out of your mold.
The easiest is going to be to make a mold from plaster bandages and then cast plaster into this. Look at instructions for pregnancy molds, they are all over the web. You also can buy kits for this purpose, though they are usually more expensive than just buying plaster bandages, but they come with instructions. Search for belly casting kits.
There are also plenty mold making tutorials on the web or go to the library and check a book out. The whole process is too long to really get described here.
