Now that the rubber mold is complete with three layers, seams, and buttons I've begun to add the mother mold layer. For the mother mold pieces I had make them piece by piece. I did not have to do this with the rubber because it can be cut easily with a razor, which the plaster and fiberglass cannot. I used clothing pins, playing cards, and packing tape to create shim walls along the seem lines. I tried to divide the piece in a way that compliments the shape of its features. There are twelve pieces in total.

Since I go back to Massachusetts very soon I have found somebody who has agreed to pick up with where ever I leave off with making the my mold and then, more importantly, they will cast the piece in resin. I'm very sad that I won't get to do the casting myself. I went shopping for ventilators the other day. The people at Douglas and Sturgess said I would need to buy the 'defender' which is the most powerful ventilator mask they sell. Since I am out of time I won't be needing it now.
