Limited sculpture

Orandas on a Wire sculpt would be like a special or limited piece for the artist to sell.

Sculpting materials

Super sculpey is a particular favourite of mine. Its easy to use and for natural forms works well beacuse it rounds off easily.

Wax Sheet

Lining the silicone mould with wax paper would give me the space to put a 'flesh' layer on the fish. Once lined the mould would be filled with polyurethane fsta cast resin. The mould would be opened and the wax removed. Silicone (transil 40) thinned slightly with silicone oil would then be injected into the mould which would create a layer around the fast cast. Silicone pigments could be used to get different effects in the silicone or even painting the fast cast could give some interesting results.

Looking at real Orandas

Ursula Vernon

Ursula Vernon is the artist who created 'Orandas on a Wire'. Ive loved her work for years. Theres a lot of her work that i think would translate nicely into 3D. Her work is mainly mixed media or digital, she sells the originals and prints. She also has books and her work on products for sale.
