My Plaster Cast!
When it came to something that had an interesting texture to post in Macro Mondays this week, with the theme of ‘Textures’, I had to look no further than the end of my arm! There, in all its pristine glory was a lovely white plaster cast!
Taking a macro shot of it, with difficulty, I might add, I was amazed by the mixture of textures that go to make up the cast. Plaster Bandage is made from a special woven cloth, uniformly impregnated with the finest quality, fast-setting plaster of Paris or by its real name Calcium Sulphate. After the process of applying wet casting material has been completed, the cast will start to dry in about 10 to 15 minutes. Eventually becoming solid and encasing the fractured bones!
