Sad to say, I just worked hours on a new post....only to discover it vaporized! But in doing that post,I also discovered that I need to learn a bunch more about formatting because that was what took me so long! I would just get the page to look right while I was creating it, and then I would preview it and it would look way different!!! So here goes with a second try....
I have been working on all sorts of props and crafts lately. I am going back into Dropbox, to see what is on my Camera Uploads:
Food Props!
Kim (my AWESOME intern) & I did a whole bunch of fake chicken for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. We made molds of actual real fried chicken! We tried molds of plaster and of Silicone Rubber. Both worked good, only for plaster, you have to do a two-part mold, and the chicken gets a bit gross....be sure and do both parts in the same day! (Freezing the cooked chicken is the best idea, too)
Once the molds were done, we coated them with Holden's Casting Latex to form a rubbery skin. Once it cured, we poured Smooth-On's FlexFoamIt 5. Because we also put a bit of baby powder in the mold before the latex, the chicken came out looking like it was all floured and ready for the fryer!
Next came some sprays of Honey Stain from Design Mater Paints and a darker brown. The finish chicken is in Seven Brides, I will try and get photos of the Finger Lickin' Good Final Product!
Joseph Throne
The scene shop recycled a 2x4 clunky chair for Joseph (and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) to make a throne. They added the curves, I added the Barbie heads, claw feet and paint. (With Kim's help, of course.) We also made the feather fans. (This time, my assistant Minnie helped!)
