Part 2 of casting a baby's foot for posterity!
These are the outcomes of our 1st try at casting a baby's feet and hand. As you peel away the rubbery alginate mixture its amazing just how much detail you start to see on the plater cast inside. With the pink from the mix slightly dying the plaster it looks spookily real. We were quite relieved to see the pink fade though as the plaster dried out!
A foot starting to emerge from the the mold. Its looking all wrinkly like the foots been in a bath for too long!
We were impressed with our creations and surprised ourselves at how amazingly real they looked. You can also see which ones have been exposed to air for longer as the pink becomes less bright.
We needn't have worried about the fist after all. It came out the best of all the casts.
An adorable little foot...ahhhhh.
So glas we didn't buy one of those kits from the shops and tried something a little differernt instead. The risk definitely paid off :o)
