Thanks to a mysterious tip from a flickr member, a few of my Gompers have been invited to the Resin Toy Juried Show being held at the Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. I’ll see if I can get my butt outta the Bay Area and head down to the opening Friday June 10, 2011.

Today we make a Wishbone Gomper.

  1. Start by hot gluing the Sculpey original to a board primed with acrylic gesso.
  2. Fill in gaps around edge with a non-sulfer based modeling clay.
  3. Paint several layers of silicone allowing 30 minutes between layers.
  4. When mold is thick enough and dry, add several layers of plaster gauze to support the mold when pouring resin.
  5. After plaster gauze dries, prop up the mold until it is level.
  6. Mix and pour urethane resin into the lowest point of the mold.
  7. Allow resin to set hard and remove casting from mold.
  8. Immediately cast another while mold is warm.
  9. While the second casting sets to harden, tool all rough spots on the first casting.
