Molding and Casting a Starry Flounder for Reference
I caught this small Starry Flounder while Surfperch fishing. It was hooked deep and wouldn’t have survived if I had released it, so I decided to keep it and make a half cast for reference.
Cleaned and dried.
Placed in bedding material to midline.
Plaster negative dried and sealed.
Resin positive.
Hooded Merganser Reference Cast
Towards the end of last duck season I shot a very nice Hooded Merganser drake. I made made an alginate mold, and poured plaster. The result was a finely detailed, beautiful cast.
Harlequin Duck (Unused)
I started this painting of a drake Harlequin Duck that I abandoned because it wasn’t coming together as I had hoped. I still like the ducks gesture, and maybe one day I’ll give it another go.
