Shadow Self
I had these life casts of myself lying around. You can't see the back of the box well, but it's painted like the sky, the blue girl is supposed to blend with it and sort of represent being invisible.

I couldn't decide which way I liked them.

	These are great! slysidonia 2008-07-04 06:08 am UTC (link)
	Omg. Do you realize how amazingly beautiful you are? When were these casts made? I like the contrast of your natural self and your shadow self. Very cool idea. I like view one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! I made them about 2 years ago and just got around to painting them, heh. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I like the first one, in part because the girl with the hair is facing the viewer and thus drawing him/her directly into the frame. I would also like to say...damn...you are hot! Can you tell us more about the life casts? When were they made? How did you paint them and add details of hair and eyelashes to the peachy colored one? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Aww, thanks. I think I made them about 2 years ago and cast 4 or five copies. I used a regular cheap iwata air brush on both. I got the eyelashes from an old lady at a flea market. I just used the glue that comes with the eyelashes along with some super glue to attach them. Super glue (along with the accelerator)and fabric tac are the best glues to apply hair.

	I prefer the first version myself. I like how the coloured cast is facing the viewer. You really are one beautiful girl. You know that right? :0 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Aww, thank you Sue. I think I like the first one too. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The first one definitely creates a more contemplative mood. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's good to know, thank you. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If I wanted to buy a piece like this, how much would it be? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	eyefeather 2008-07-08 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Somewhere around $450 depending on what's involved. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I wonder... galleon_lore 2008-07-14 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Do you think you'd be able to make a door knocker in the shape of the Goblin King's amulet? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: I wonder... eyefeather 2008-07-15 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Probably. I think I'd have to get that low temperature metal to melt and pour in the silicone mold. I've never worked with it, but it can't be that hard, right? :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Re: I wonder... galleon_lore 2008-07-15 03:20 am UTC (link)
	How much would you charge to give it a shot? I need something awesome to hang on my new bedroom door. (Reply to this) (Parent)
