Paper Casting Results

I thought I'd share the results of an art experiment I never would have tried if I hadn't read about it on Michelle Ward's blog.

I have this Mary statue that I like alot because of the peaceful expression on her face so I made a mold of it using polymer clay. I also used a foam stamp from Michael's for the swirly motif paper cast. I'll probably apply gesso and paint but I'm afraid I might mess them up. If so, I can always make another paper cast. If you'd like to experiment with paper casting, here's the link to Michelle's blog. Thanks, Michelle!
