Something fun I saw on TV yesterday that I thought I'd share. For a long time I've had this fascination with being able to create molds and working with polymer clay - separate thoughts. Yesterday on DIY they had an episode where a prototype toy maker used polymer clay to create a bobble head of her own and then created a mold from it to use over and over again. She then showed how to use the mold to make a resin figure of her polymer clay creation. It was AWESOME! I have no idea how I will use this information but someday I will. My wheels are a spinning! Here's a link to the show. I think I need to put Silpak silicone molding material and Bresin casting compound on my wish list - seriously.

This type of thing just gets me going. I think about all the absolute cool jobs that are out there that I know nothing about. It's all so intriguing and fun to think about. I had (still do as a matter of fact) an idea for an invention which lead me to looking into creating a prototype several years ago. One of the ways to create a prototype is by creating your own mold - as explained above. It's awesome that we live in this age where technology is everywhere. Having seen this done opens up all sorts of possibilities that I was stuck in by just reading the information. It's awesome.
What a great suprise! It looks so good. I've also been in the process of making a header but got distracted. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with. See ya!
