Running low on materials already?!

I can't believe it! I have only made one silicone mould (which failed terribly) and I have already used half my silicone solution. As a result of this I had to think of a way to use what I had left. My solution was to make a smaller toy, and hopefully the silicone I have left will be enough to make a mould for each body part.

My new toy. Smaller than the original

Above is the new toy that I designed which I will replicate through make a mould for the head, body and tail separately. Since the last toy was made of clay it became soft under the liquid silicone. I didn't want this to happen again so this toy is made of hardened Fimo instead. This way it will remain its original shape and create a better mould.

To make sure that I would definitely have enough mixture to make more moulds I took a journey to my university and bought more Supersil formula.
