| Thomas B - Face, Left Side Left to Right #01, #02, #03 A friend volunteerd to be my first model for a face casting. Some molds may be used more than once depending on the medium used for the mold. |
| TrTr - Hand, Left 01 A friend agreed to let me used his hand as my greeting to my gallery. Although he was happy to be a model, He was a bit distressed at the details that were picked up and made him look at just how much "character" they have. |
| Thomas B - Face, Left Side < Left Side #01, - Right Side #03 > #01, I mounted on this 'sort of' frame I found, put black stones in the well behind it, and found the small branches by the river. #02 was given to a friend of the model. #03 was kept unmounted and placed on a plate holder. |

 |
| EU - Face, Right Side. The 3rd Face Cast. #1/1. This 2nd friend's face was his 2nd time, since he already stepped in before, when a 3rd friend couldn't handle having his face in the mold medium. The other is of the left side. |
| Joseph C - Chin The 1st Chin Cast. #2/3. This friend's chin was more an experiment than an actual intentional casting. But since it came out so well, I do display it. |
 |
| Don S - Hands, Both. CHandleholder 01. #1/1. The pair of hands here are actually holding the glass candle burners which are filled with the liquid wax. |
 |
| Don S - Fingers, Left. Fingers 01. #1/1. The first piece is a simple paperweight I made in order to get a feel for what I could do. |
| Don S - Hand, Right. CHandleholder 02. #1/1. This 2nd candleholder not only uses a standard votive candle or tealight, but the bowl can be removed in order to clean it. |
 |
 |
| Don S - Hand, Left. Hand Left Silver 01. #1/1. This hand is a 'business card holder'. The details of the wrinkles & lifelines show up very well. I actually smoothed the fingerprints because they came out so well, and the model is not the one using this piece. |

| Lee M. Torso 01. #1/1. This is my first female torso. After playing around with it, trying different ideas of how to finish it, (which can be seen in the "EXAMPLES" Gallery), I finally decided on this combination of metal using a silvery-grey hairpiece. |
| "SUPPORT" Model: Blake B. Torso 01. #1/1. My first male torso. I used a MILK Coating on this piece. (Whole Homogenized). It gives the piece a very fine sheen as well as a 'softer' feeling than the unfinished plaster. (Alternate versions in the "EXAMPLES" Gallery). |

 |
| Don S - Hand, Left. Easter Hand 01. #1/1. The 2nd piece done specifically to be given away. It was a present from the Easter Bunny to a friend of mine. |
 |
| Patrick S, Full Face. Full Face 01. #1/1. This is my first Full Face casting. I can see many flaws with this that may not be apparent to others. But, again, each time I do one that is not perfect, it teaches me something. (The rough edge due to my bad cropping of the Picture.) |
