More Gel Flex Aums

Due to the success of last season's must have aum, I made a new clay model and a gel flex mould. I had to melt down the first one, as I forgot to create a significant enough clay wall and gulley around the object that could act as an edge once the mould was made. Anyway, the second go worked out fine:

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 !
