double studio day

THE PROPS ARE COMING ALONG!
First hand casting with Antoinette, I got to feel the alginate solidify around my hand and suction to my skin then wriggle out...

 Then we poured in the plaster to cast my hands for the inside of the "glove" that will be the prosthetic. Great hand on hand on hand action.

 The fingers can be glued back on.

 Tomorrow, she will cast the hand model, Matthew Goulish for the outside of the prosthetic, using dragonskin and a vaccum chamber! The final hands will then be painted and worn like gloves moveable and functional! Thanks for the education, Antoinette!

THEN Vicky and I checked up on the Ladies Almanack version of the Romaine Brooks portrait of Una Troubridge in the studio of ROBBIE HOTCHKISS THOMPSON!
