Micheal will have added the "Mother Mold", a plaster layer to support the silicone mold. Micheal uses FGR-95 a gypsum based product that is already impregnated into layers of fabric that just needs to be put in water then applied.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/283946897395614341-5306180711470350240?l=wcrogersart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wcrogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09123735277847621668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283946897395614341.post-44796712908758710372008-05-03T09:49:00.000-07:002008-05-03T09:52:39.050-07:00The next post I make will take you to Taos Bronze Foundry, Micheal Hamilton's business, where he has volunteered his time and materials for the donation to the Music From Angel Fire auction.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/283946897395614341-4479671290875871037?l=wcrogersart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>wcrogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09123735277847621668noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283946897395614341.post-25450925993373363982008-05-02T13:20:00.000-07:002008-05-02T15:36:49.453-07:00Music from Angel Fire is a summer music festival in Angel Fire, NM. They are celebrating their 25th Anniversary. As a fund raiser, they asked 25 artists to paint or decorate a violin for an auction. The following is the process of creating my violin.
