A Vacuum formed version of the plaster casts from the glass jars were created and filled with hot blue wax which varied in shades.
Some of the wax mixtures were combined with segments of tine foil and placed inside before cooling.
Other mixtures were combined with organic vegetable pieces from the cabbage. This colour combination worked perfectly.
After cooling the wax cast was removed, the semi-translucent material really allowed us to be able to see the metal inside. This started to resemble natural minerals such as Galena, nickel in meteorites and ??????????
The final outcomes vary in shape and size as each mould was different likewise the way the wax moves around does differ. It is interesting to see how the shapes can be played with, such as stacking them and revealing the different colours or laying them upside down to see there inside fillers. It is also appealing to see the different textures and layers which are visible.
