The casting experience has been exciting; there were steps that I have to solve and still fixing the ears on the sculpture. The ears are the most sensitive part and very delicate. I sculpt it again, for I did not let the clay dry a long time before I applied the plaster of Paris. And on the working process, I discovered new techniques that have left me with excellent restoration knowledge. The vaseline that I used on the clay left the original solid cast all slushy, and I was not very happy for it took me time to clean it. These are the con that in my next sculpture will be better executed. I’m totally excited to continue with my next commission.
