Very beautiful. It would have been lovely as a face cast alone.

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.
