Topic Subject : Miss USA 2006, Tara Conner |
|
There has been a great deal of discussion recently in the press, mostly negative, concerning Tara Conner, Miss USA. In September, I had the pleasure of casting her face. I say "pleasure" because Tara was a joy to work with. She arrived at almost 6 P.M. after a long day of appearances and while I know she was tiried, she was cheerful, cooperative, and endured the process without complaint. I have been saddened to hear some of the things that have been said about her and wish her the best.
Tara was cast in FiberGel by ArtMolds. I made a plaster positive in which I opened her eyes and then made a silocone rubber mold. The finished mask was cast in Forton MG with copper powder. The hair and cloth had a green patina solution applied but the skin was allowed to take a natural patina for about two weeks prior to buffing. I made three copies, one for Tara, one for the Miss Universe organization, and one I am keeping.
