Here are some other pictures of the in progress breastplate. After I got the main form molded, then I had to figure out how to add ornamentation that would be mirrored across the sides and consistent. I ended up drawing out a design on paper and flipping it in Photoshop. I printed the design out and then formed the clay into tubes and followed withing the lines. After I had the design, it was a pretty simple matter to position it on the body and then use a tool to meld the edges and smooth it out. I'm very pleased with the results and can't wait to cast it tonight.
The second project I am working on is a poster for a Billie Holiday concert. Unfortunately it is not progressing nearly as well as this project. sigh...
Did you finish this project? It is fantastic!!
