In the Groove


Have you ever been in the groove while working on something? You, the project... working together as one. The Zen, the Tao... a connection to the work that transcends mere skill. Some days the work is joy.

This was not one of those days.

I suppose the mold pouring was a success. I tidied up the backside of the model, I sealed the edges and corners. I poured over fifty pounds of plaster dust plus water into the mold. That went well.

If you ignore, somehow, the half gallon (or more) of plaster that burst through the edge and leaked all over my table.

I'm trying to ignore it. Later, I'll be trying to chip if off the mold basebord, the table, the floor...

Dammit.

However, the airbrush makeup and final-seal tests went well. That's something.
