First Mold Making Success!

Before yesterday I had never tried to make a mold. I did my best to smooth out the original heart as much as possible before baking it. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Although I can now make molds of this heart I don't think it will save me too much production time. I would much rather make my hearts unique and one of a kind. However, I do think this new technique will have some interesting applications.

The grey heart on the right is the original piece. The blue blob is the flexible plastic mold and the ugly multi colored heart at the bottom is their first child. It was intended solely as a test piece and I sort of just randomly squished the colors in it.
