I met Tom Plaster to catch up with for lunch again. He had on a smashing orange jacket. Good catching up.
I decided to go the risky route, and pour plaster into the plaster mold. Except I think I skipped a step, and will probably have a hard time separating sculpture from mold. I may not even be able to at all, but too late.. I'm committed.
I did use a specialty plaster that's supposed to be "5X stronger than ordinary plaster", so I'm hoping if I can make myself wait till it's FULLY cured, the old plaster of Paris will break away, leaving whatever is inside more or less complete.
I just decided that a plastic casting wasn't going to be what I wanted anyway, and in a fit of impatience, mixed and poured before indecision caught up with me again..

Calcenova bi-colore (2 color) applied over lime plaster.
This is a traditional application done in Italy.
We left open areas and waxed the lime offering more durability in the bath.

15 mL of Plaster of Paris was hydrated with 7.5mL of a solution of 1mL sugar and ~20 crystals of CuCl2. On top was added about 1mL of strontium carbonate and 0.5mL of sulfur as well as about 0.03mL of copper carbonate (malachite). After the plaster had set it was heated until bluish yellow incandescence using a MAPP gas torch (gas ran out during heating).
The luminescence of this sample was particularly bright making it a challenge to photograph.
