I was thinking about icicles today. My first split inclination was that at one moment when the temperature drops, a tendril freezes in mid air. Then I realized the absurdity of that, even though if that were true it would be pretty spectacular. I then worked the obvious out in my brain. A drop, the tiniest drop freezes. Then another on top of that. Then another. Until this one drop is covered and created by millions of drops, until the temperature really does freeze all the moisture.

Don't forget to Vaseline...

my apartment now has a dusting of plaster over it.

I think it's interesting in reviewing that I'm casting parts of my body that are focused on by America (as determining whether women are in shape/attractive/acceptable) in my kitchen. Of course I did it for practical reasons, like the proximity to the sink and that it is easier to wipe up the kitchen floor. But being in an area whether food is stored, prepared and focused on, adds an interesting dimension to my project concept.

2. Buy supplies

3. Make molds

4. Mold body parts

5. Mix slip

6. Cast body parts
