That looks awesome! How are you doing the straps?

All that glitters is not gold,
Not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not whither,
Deep roots are not touched by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be broken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Haven't fully decided on the straps yet. I was going to see how the front came out and go from there. After a couple of false starts with the monster clay I finally have made some progress on the design. In fact I was on a role, before I knew it it's past midnight and I have my twin boys first birthday party tomorrow! Need sleep. Will try to remember to take a photo to post. Bed.

Haha that is a good reason to stop.... I was just wondering because in the last photo it looked like you have a bit of a strap on there, and then it just sort of stopped. I wasn't sure if you were going to take it off and leave it strapless or add more on to the end of it.

Oh no straps for sure! I find strapless tops so uncomfortable and slide down all the time. My head is a little better now and I can process the whole strap question now. Yes I was going to include a parcel strap in the front design and then make separate straps to attach later. That way I can make sure I get a good fit.

Progress!
Ok so I probably won't have time today to work on it (even though I'm very keen) so will post more when I can.

Loving the design and are you going to have greenery as well?
No Fifi I'm just going to continue with the organic shell inspired design all over. I do have several ideas I would like to try

That looks so cool! I love how it's turned out so far!

Looks awesome so far ^_^
Looks awesome! I want to make a turbo or nautilus top, What is the process of casting the mold and then casting with silicone? Two part or do you brush it on?
My plan is to build a box around the bust and then pour plaster over the clay (to avoid using fibre glass). Then pour silicone into the plaster mould. I haven't done this before so I'm nervous/scared/excited to see how it will turn out. Also I live in Western Australia and materials aren't as easy to come by. And the ones you can fine are expensive :/

I purchased some dragon skin online as a trial kit and there was a fair bit of product for about $60 aus, I'm in vic. I've trialled and it really travels (runs) in its 5 hour curing time when using the 10 medium one, I wasn't sure what the process was to make a hollow cast of the shell to adhere to the bra base. You could paint single layers at a time in the mold and cure in between but it would take ages! I wonder if you could use toothpicks or something to scafold the clay possitive mold a few mil above the plaster neg mold and fill the gap with dragon skin?? Good luck! I love your sculpt
What I was thinking was taking the monster clay off the busy I'm moulding it on and put in on a different board. I might see how far I can flatten it. But yeah it would be awesome if I could have a boobie shape in the back suspended so it dosnt just become a solid silicone blob and leave no room for the actual breast.

Yep need room for the boobwaz and too thick would be mighty heavy, there's lots of tutorial on special effects suppliers websites but they're long-windedly and complicated, I might try some little tests and let you know what they turn out like
Maybe you could make a breast-shaped insert to press into the mold to displace the silicone up and around it...analogous to a shot glass (mold) of liquid (silicone) with an ice cube (bewbie form)? Does that make sense?

Yes pearlie, maybe the plaster bra base sealed?
Bloody autocorrect I meant to say bust not busy above. I just had dinner with my mother in law and all I can think about is going home to work on it haha so terrible :P

Probably wouldn't even have to be sealed, dragonskin peels off of nearly everything except fabric (ruined my favorite yoga pants! sigh...), but a coat of white glue or acrylic paint would suffice.
I have painted dragonskin over a shaped form, and I use the slow set, and if you have a desk lamp with a warm bulb, it sets it pretty fast and you can brush more into your mold fairly quickly...like within 20 minutes!
