Borax + water and a lot of drying time yields a pretty nice, do it yourself head mount with a lot of personality. Another nice ling out of Depot Bay, Oregon.

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.
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, cleaned up, primed and antiqued with oil paint.
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.
