    1. So I need to post here to see the rest of the forum?
       
    2. Oh... Mmm... Sorry, didn't remember to add the last half of the instructions.

      My online name is Leloi. I pretty much use that name wherever I go so I'm easy to google. I am a small business owner who does artisan things as well as fine art. My business is called Night Garden Studio. I make soft sculpture dolls and animals and I've always wanted to branch out.

      After seeing the forum on DoA I decided it was time to try my own hand at sculpture. I've sculpted with paperclay before and I sculpt with stuffed fabric. I drew up some early plans for dolls (unicorn, dragon and satyr) and have begun the sculpting process. Yesterday I went researching at the local plastics store to buy some sample casting materials and a book on casting for theater (I have a background in theater too). Today I shall dig out one of my doll making books that describes how to cast porcelain dolls. Maybe that can give me more clues. I wonder if it's possible to use the pour out method in order to create a hollow casting with resin? Hmm...

      Anyway, glad to meet you all!
