Plaster Cast Demo of Krissy K's torso...

plaster cast demo of Krissy K's torso. Only the ladies of the sculpting class worked on me... the men mixed the plaster. Btw, earlier in the semester, the men worked on a model named Robert B. (while the ladies mixed the plaster).

The plaster kept sliding... lol... & the female students were trying to maintain the same thickness throughout the whole mold. It looks like they're touching me... but, they're hands are inches above me. :-)

In order to maintain the natural shape of the chest area... we started sitting up, using plaster bandages. Then, I laid down as they out one layer of soft plaster... followed by a layer of hemp fibers to give it some structure. The last layer of plaster went on top to strengthen it even further. It was moderately heavy... but, not too uncomfortable. :-)

@krissyk1222 I've not seen a cast done like this before.

Why didnt they use a thin bandage plaster ? So much plaster, was it heavy?
