💀Learning a dead Victorian art💀: Plaster ceiling bats

  • Today I struggle intensely with figuring out just how exactly the victorians made their plaster ceiling castings, this is definitely NOT the way that they did it but I've come up with my own janky modern day idea of how it could have potentially worked.

    I adore you for putting “it isn’t cool how I talked to myself” or similar over your real reaction where you called yourself stupid. Cos yeah, we do that, and yeah it isn’t cool, & you showing that teaches me so much better that a “speak kindly to yourself” poster or whatever. (Though those are awesome too & they help too). I just love your realness, thank you!

      I, personally am worse, lol. Spent a lot of time alone the last couple of years, due to my own issues lol. I've really noticed that the talking to myself and calling myself stupid, moron, idiot, ect lol has become a regular occurrence. Nvm yelling at inadiment objects, ie TV, YT, ect lol

    I was not expecting you to be so… Real? I just adore you kept in the struggle of a broken sculpt, your reaction, your pep talk, all of it. I really needed it. Now I’ll be noting the supplies you used, and the methods you used to decompress and stay motivated!!

    Coming from someone who used to do paper mache and plaster casting, my mom and I would always add Elmer's glue to the water so the end plaster was more flexible and crack resistant.

    As a fellow Victorian spooky lovin'creative soul and mould maker I understand the nightmare of losing your original casting piece 😭 BuUuUuUt what I do is use the first casting as the second mould form by changing and perfecting the piece, until I'm happy and then I will create the actual mould!!!
    But as far as plaster goes I use a one to one to one of Durham's water putty, plaster of Paris and fast stone casting powder!
    But I love using my broken castings in my pieces or use them to create builder moulds, as in moulds I can use to customize and bring elements of the original casting into accent pieces so instead of the piece being 12 in I can get it to what ever size I want outwards!!!
    Lol Also a great way to get rid of the bubbles is.....🤦......a mini pocket panty rocket with remote control!!!!
    🤣😂🤣That way you can vibrate the moulds without dropping it onto the table just place it under the board your moulds are resting on and flip the switch ☺️ because they are a heck of a lot cheaper than anything "professional"and they are sold EVERYWHERE!!!
    Good lord I'm sorry for the ridiculously LoOoOonG comment but I adore BAT'S, RAVEN'S and SLOTHS💗 but for some reason, I never thought about turning them into glorious victorian architectural element's!!!
    Most people's brains see them as Halloween decorations, but I have ravens and a bat out year round!!!
    BuUuUuUt AnYwAyS I love THIS and I am going to start on my own wee bat piece and when I'm done, I'll be tagging the heck out of you, along with your video, giving you 100% of the inspirational credit, lol because THIS creative soul, is going nuts right now, so I'm going to start mapping out the pieces and I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!!
    EeEeEeEeEeK I'm SoOoOoOoO FRIKKIN excited and YES she'll be named after YOU!!!

    Awesome! I agree that the vaguely uterine shape just adds an extra layer to the awesome. Not exactly spooky, but I did design and embroider myself a uterus that my friend has named The Kramper, with evil eye-centred flowers for ovaries, the Fallopian tubes are holding knives, and it looks like it is angrily vomiting menstrual blood. It is an homage to endometriosis and how sucktastic it is. It pleases me greatly.

    I had a thought when watching the part of painting the plasters. It might be easier to pour the paint into a pan and dip them in one side. Once dried, dip the other. Use a detailed brush to clean up where you were holding it and and spots that need attention or were missed. That way you can do several in quick succession.
