I made a lamp...resin casting my OWN leg!
I hope y'all enjoyed my weird interpretation of the iconic leg lamp from A Christmas Story ☺️
This is definitely one of my favorite projects to date and I COULD NOT have done it without the help of my friends Bianca, Emily, & Emilio, @NicTaylorWoodworking , @StudsonStudio & his amazing voiceover skills, and last but not least @ReynoldsamPlus for sharing a few tips and tricks. A HUGE thank you to all my helpers 💙
Materials used:
Smooth-On Body Double lifecasting silicone rubber

    Ooo... pay respect to that lovely dead bird by filming deterioration, or rather stitching together daily images into a film. Then preserve skeleton within work of art! Ok, maybe that suggestion is a little late (no pun intended), but I've intended to do that twice now but local cats or possums or something snatched the birds corpses too quick (not to say I'm kinda slow or anything, or admit anyway). Anyway, keep being you! 😎

    I’ve recently come back to a project that I previously abandoned because it didn’t go at all according to plan. Similar to casting with resin, I cast masks with latex and if the mould I use isn’t watertight then the latex will come pouring out of the bottom. Needless to say it’s quite stressful at times, so I can definitely empathise with you on this project!
