Gel Flex

This week I tried making a gel flex mould. Gel flex is something like vinyl and looks like sweaty cheese. I melted the gel flex cubes in this melting pot.






Next I made a simple mould in clay - it's the Indian "aum" simple - oneness with universal consciousness and all that. A clay wall is added to hold and this holds in the molten gel flex.


Here I am pouring it in.

And here is the (still quite hot) mould being prised out an hour later. Then I made a simple plaster cast and behold a slightly bubble marked but perfectly acceptable "Aum". Or even ॐ !
