I've made some other color as well Thanks Bowana! you are my rock, Higly polished :) Thanks Paipo! It looks like Lapis Lazuli....very nice! Oh I think you just like me a lot :) thanks! Hoku went urine yellow?! are you sure it was the sun and not your other activities :D! Thanks Tim, they are releasing their new album the 24 of may, so I've being using the last warm days we have to try to make a lot, now is so chilly is very hard to work with resin.. Thanks seeksurf, no he is not glow in the dark, and Billy either, he has a little candle inside that make him glow Here are some of the color I've made And i'm starting a new crazy project, where I'm going to try to turn the original Tormento candle desing in to plaster mold material, to make a mug This is the candle design So a melted plasticine and pore it in to the mold i have and started working on it this is just started I have progresses for there some more I know Babalu is not going to be proud of me working in plasticine instead of clay, but i wanted to have all the time to work on it with out having to be worried about it drying to much... The thing is that the plasticine I'm using is to soft, so i'm thinking i'm going to have trouble taking the plaster mold later. I was planning on varnishing it to make it more resistant but Bowana save me from that telling me it was going to stick to the plaster!an less a apply some soap or release on it... So, I'm not planing on making a limited edition, because this would be for a bar here that has the Tormento drink, and for the tormentos to use too for their press kits and such. so what I'm thinking is that I'm going to varnish it, and take a silicon mold, so i can make a plaster copie from that (and be able to make all the copies to use as master, I could need in time) and from the plaster copy try to make the plaster mold, and if i break it, i wouldn't loose the master I could just make an other... This is going to be a long journey for me, we'll see how all this go... Wish me luck please, and any tips would be very much appreciated :) Thanks for looking!
