SC - LOL and a question.

[Brian L. Rygg or Laura Barbee-Rygg]

Ok - I have a friend who is a professional clown - this is how she makes her
noses (don't laugh!!)  She has an impression of a nose in a plaster of paris
mold set in a styrofoam cup - she pours liquid latex into the mold, lets it
set for a little until there is a layer of solidified latex in the mold and
then pours out the excess.  after the latex hardens she has a new nose which
she then trims......I've long been intrigued byt the thought of being able
to mold other things this way but didn't know where to get the liquid latex.
Lo and behold I saw a can of it at a candle/incense store here in Tulsa the
other day - and if I can find it in Tulsa!!!!!   Of course you wouldn't
really need the plaster of paris mold , you could just pour some latex into
a cup about half way up the pit and later, just peel it off the
pit......maybe.

Hmmm. well, I think the unglazed one might bind the ingredients, despite
being
oiled with a bit of almond oil and sprinkled with sugar, but it would
probably be
ok from a glazed mold.

I have a nice heavy latex mini-scallop shell candy mold I use for
buttercreams. I
wonder where I might get a few custom made with peachpits? I think for
experimentation I will try a sculpey until my lord can get a new outlet
wired in
the barn for my kiln.

i also use the mini shell for making modern shortbread 'bites' - i even made
a
batch of chocolate shortbread shell 'oreos' by making a really heavy vanilla
buttercream to glue 2 shells together.
