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.
ALI is an international organization whose members are engaged in the
art and creative industries. Its purpose is to promote the art of life
casting, create public awareness of this unique art form, provide its
members with forums to exchange information, resources to enhance
their effectiveness and advance opportunities for their artistic
success.
