Creating my Silicone mould for human hybrid

The first silicone mould I created for my hybrid was the the main design of the crocodile which I will be positioning on my models back. I created texture on the mould by using different tools from my kit. I then smoothed out the edges so you wasn't able to feel any bumps, this took me quite a while to do but I got there in the end. When I had finished creating my sculpture I then built a barrier around the outside of it for when I pour the silicone onto the mould so it doesn't spill out. Then I sprayed fixing onto the sculpture and let it dry for 5 minutes and once that dried I then did the same with petrolease and let it dry for 5 minutes. I prepared my station by placing cling film over the top of the scales and weighed out 100 grams of silicone A and B with separate wooden sticks and gloves to avoid contamination. After mixing both ingredients together and pouring it onto my mould I realised this amount of silicone didn't quite cover it all so I then added another 100 grams of each to make sure I got the coverage I needed.

As I was running over time this lesson, Sue kindly said she would put the mould into her cupboard overnight so it had plenty of time for the silicone to dry. The next day when I came in the silicone had dried perfectly so it was now ready to pull away. Below is a photo after I had taken the silicone out.
