Heritage
In this shot, I placed my father's pocket watch into my eldest son's hand casting I did when he was 16. I picked up casting from my father who was exposed to it from his father. Of couse, back in the day, they used unforgiving plaster for the negative mold as well as the positive product where I use dental alginate for the mold and plaster for the final piece. I am still interetested in experimenting with portland cement in place of the plaster for outdoor durablity.
