Resin and Lack of Ventillation

While working with the resin, I poured several cubes but want to add more to the clear pieces i have though of adding silver leaf and molding it within the resin casts and then recasting those within the final plaster cast.  I am deciding on to either cast the silver leaf on the back side, mixed within the resin or layered within the resin either vertically or horizontally.

Resin Molds



Castings







I started casting my section with plaster using foam core for the mold and also added pieces of plexi to be cast within.  I decided that I wanted to cast the some parts of the drawing in a clear resign and the insert them in the plaster mold to be cast as part of the larger drawing in plaster.  My first attempt with the clear resign turned out fairly well being an awkward shape that would be difficult to make out of plexi.  I am no casting the remaining pieces.  I was also very surprised as to how well the curve came out and am debating if I should incorporate it or not.

Still Not Sure What A Drawing Is

I begun exploring drawing with wire and castings.  The wire drawing is a plan while the casted drawing is going to be a section utilizing plaster or resin.
