Lemon Mold 2

Continuing the lemon mold

I taped the two halves of the mold together, filled it with plaster, and hoped for the best.  I left it overnight to cure.  When I came back in the morning, I was a little afraid of the result because of the massive crack down both halves of the mold.

whoops

I started trying to pry the two halve apart, and was pleasantly surprised.  Inside was something that very closely resembled a plaster lemon!  However, it was clear that this mold was a one-shot.

 look, it could be Modern Art!

Eventually, I had to take the thing out back and beat the crap out of it on our concrete patio to get the rest of it out.  I am now the proud owner of a plaster lemon.

Once I had it in PhotoShop, I decided to enhance the x-ray by putting a real post-PAO x-ray image into it.  Since the bunny was nowhere near human proportions, this took lots of “layer via copy” time and effort.  Here’s what the finished version looks like.
