Topic Subject : Re: Bread Casting |
|
Hi Kitzlen
I'm guessing the difference in results comes down to the unique
behaviour of bread dough and how it reacts to the oil. I didn't have
anything to do with the baking of the pieces, just the mould making
so bread isn't my strong area. Bread is such an unpredictable thing
even for the experts who were doing these pieces for the artist -
some of the test pieces came out perfectly and other identical test
pieces got stuck in the mould or didn't cook all the way through etc
etc. The only common theme was there was greater detail where a mould
release had been avoided. I guess because they needed to put it on
very thickly or the plaster soaked it up, but that's only a guess.
