Brushed a layer of light oil white paint. Just to whiten its surface.

 After washed away the color isolating agent, the joint line can be clearly seen. 

I dont remember if i have to wash the plaster statue with soap water. I washed it anyway and i was afraid that it would break into pieces. Im glad that it stayed whole. 

These plaster molds weren't completely dried and i had hard time to get them off from the statue. It was all about labour work with exact precision. With my mistakes, I left lots of rasp scars on it. " What is done is done! " 😭

I was so afraid that these plaster molds weren't strong enough so i added extra layer to make it thicker. And it ended up that I had to work twice harder to open it. 

Pouring plaster into the molds that secured by metal wires and ducktapes. I got extra hands. I couldn't do it by myself because it was way too heavy. 

 I had to be very careful not to damage the molds while digging out the clay of statue. Before that, I forgot completely to take pictures of how i made these two pieces of mold out of my clay statue. 😩

Oil based clay statue.
