[TheTexaradoan]

I could not stay awake.

[mistermichaelj]

You are such a cutie pies! :-)

[doriakamoon]

I appreciate the whole video. It is the whole video that is part of the lost art. Thank you Ahonick. I am told we have blackfoot in our family and proud.

[nazaxprime]

As opposed to the lost art of wax casting. xD

allright, i WAS gonna watch your video but i had to tap out after about 3 minutes, because your birds and that horrible kung fu panda music was threatening to turn my hair grey! you might be a great artist, i will never know, but you cant be a very good teacher if the people you try to teach are finishing their suicide notes 3 minutes in. good bye.

Generally the carving medium is wax and the 'foam' is like a Plaster-of-Paris

[StarlightEngram]

What a lovely peaceful wortk of art. I am touched by the symbolism of the artist and her movement through the piece. Later, I awoke with a start... I almost exclaimed aloud... beautiful person! Please! You must put a shield around that belt on the sheave! It will sieze you! Snare you! And wind you into oblivion! Hurry!!

[bemozy]

Like to know what the gray carving medium is that was used to create the model? Your work is very nice

[ubmsw]

Does that foam has a particular name or brand? Or just foam?

[carpetmonk]

what is "fung"?

[pinkpriss]

This is what I plan to do with my estrogen and anti-androgen atrophied cojones! After they get as small as possible and I have vaginoplasty, I will cast those suckers into a most darling, stunning, dressy and glamorous pair of earrings cast in precious metal and adorned with gemstones...finally and permanently putting them to practical use! As such, they will serve as a constant reminder of my total femininity as well as a delightful conversation piece,at parties, in women's restrooms, etc! .

What is the black molding compound called?

[reesen85]

Watch the 3 part series. It is very good. Just skip the bird part if you want. What was the rubber mold compound? I want to buy some, but I am not sure what it is. Thanks.

[reesen85]

Watch the 3 part series. It is very good. Just skip the bird part if you want.

[AssrocketFoundryCo]

It's called "The Art of Lost Wax Casting" for a reason. Total respect.

[mellcomm]

Snoozer - look for other videos if you want to learn about wax casting

[joyisaware]

[inVivoArt]

Like those animist thoughts, thats what is lost in our world, unfortunatly

[brainfood42]

interesting use of Styrofoam..agree about the zen getting in the way of learning...

[FBIWarnings]

needs a vac chamber in pour to cut out the painful machine burnishing step (and the zen)

[GDawning]

The zen shit is annoying as hell. It's like get to the fucking point already. I don't have time for this.

[WilliamBroichYAY]

wow i do this in school in art class its so fun

[viciousspit]

wow, this is so zen ... not something I would go for. Sorry, not my type of thing ... didn't like the video.

[faboledesma]

Impresive thanks a lot . Very helpfull

[crazyrum]

I really love the style of this video......

[TheOmegaBoy]

cool, but yea 1/4th animals? Someone has too high a sensitivity to the appreciation of life it seems. :D

[HomeDistiller]

enough of the hippy shit how about some casting?

[ramjam25]

nice one. like slip casting, thanx

[EmperorAst]

Very interesting way of presenting this method as an art. I knew it was used for bronze sculptures -I've seen many videos, but the overal details in this video make it, truly, worth watching.

[circusboy90210]

@palehorsepalerider true knowledge is a spiratual journey if you really want to retain & use the knowledge in its' proper context. god bless you.

[Toyman1982]

@palehorsepalerider your comment made me laugh out loud so hard i choked on my drink! LOL i agree i came here for the casting video not a fucking spiritual journey LOL

[FilippoGatti1991]

@palehorsepalerider

This is not the casting video of an industrial component, this is the casting video of a piece of art. It's totally different, If you don't like it, just don't watch it.
