In the same way that I made the waste mold for the smiling head I made the piece mold for the VBF. It started at the bottom with dividing the sculpture into pieces with shim walls, then adding a couple of layers of plaster, then adding burlap and wooden supports. I did not add a layer of slip brush strokes because I want to leave the mold in tact so there is no reason for me to want to separate the burlap layer from the plaster layer. The entire process took 11 hours, much longer then the smiling head, because the scale of the piece added to the time and the labor.
