I recently bought a mannequin hand on Ebay as I have now began collecting cotton pads from when I remove my nail polish. I thought by having a mannequin hand to work with it would allow me to use the collection with this hands in perhaps a more bsuccessful way than without? I didn’t notice when I bought this hand that it was coming from Hong Kong and was estimated to be here at the end of May which is too late. Therefore I decided that I would cast my own hand and make a plaster hand from this instead. In a way this would also be a lot more personal to me and reflect me more as it would be the exact representation of my hand.
With Matt’s help in layering my hand in mod-rock I began this process. After the cast was made plaster was poured in and my hand was created. When removing it from the cast some of the mod-rock got stuck to the hand so that will need some sanding down. I am quite pleased with how this has turned out considering I am not really a fan of sculpture. Here are a few photos of the hand before sanding.
