Glass plaque mold

This was my first asignment in my kiln casting class. Make a glass plaque mold. It could be of whatever we wanted, so long as it was a plaque. Naturally, this turned into another excuse to make a monster. This was my first time working in clay (to make the plaster mold) in ages, and a lot of fun.

Glass Gun redux

Here's better shots of my botched glass gun. We're almost certain what happened was the mold was just simply too long, and the glass didn't stay at temperature for long enough, and it just didn't fill all the way. An interesting fluke to be sure.

Glass Death Squid

I'm going to apologize in advance for the forthcoming spamming. I finally got around to documenting all my 3D work from the spring semester, so you're getting it all at once! To start, here's my death squid. It's a piece from my glass kiln casting class, and the assignment was to make an organic form.

Botox

Finals are over, and so now I'll be uploading the aftermath. I've got a few more things to document soon here, but here's my final for my Kiln Casting class. The prompt was "Artificial Life". Where I went with this was the idea of Botox injections. You're essentially letting someone inject you with the toxins secreted from a bacteria. All just to LOOK younger and healthier, with no real improvements to your health. So here's some shots of my final. Also, some of these shots have the lip jar with lipstick, and some without. It was suggested to me during crit that making the lips red would help them pop, and fit with the bacteria strains, and someone was kind enough to let me borrow her lipstick to color them.
