@JylBonaguro For years I talked with some women who wanted too be lifecasted models for statues.Your artistry is unique and wonderful.I'm a beginner but your technique is great I had a friend of mine let me alginate her full body into statue form.April is her name she loved the idea of becoming a work of art.I never used material that harden or would put my model in danger I wish I could meet you .I have talked with some beautiful who want something like this done. You sound very mature and beautiful.❤😊😂
I am glad you appreciate all the steps. It really is painstaking but I try to keep the videos informative and not too long. I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback :)
You are so welcome Alaur!! I have been thinking about this problem on and off for years so it makes me really happy to share the solution! Glad you enjoyed it :)
You are so very welcome. I feel with all the technological advances a lot of these older techniques will no longer be used, so it's important to me to document them. Enjoy!
Thank you. I really try to reuse everything and I get a lot of material donated. Here is a public art sculpture that is applied vs cast ruclips.net/video/iu4ICz4OU_Q/видео.htmlsi=wPtzyI9TUN2b7tSn I have another new video coming out soon on this applied process too with some adjustments in case you are curious :) best wishes
I was wondering if it were possible to cast marble and other stones into dice, and here you are giving me a tutorial, and while I’m pretty sure the mixture you made is too thick to cast as dice, I’m pet sure it can be modified. Thank.
A nice thing to do with the marble waste. 👍 I think the mould the guy made wasn’t well executed, I’ve no idea why he thought he needed 6 parts , totally not necessary with silicone. You should’ve used fibreglass for the jacket , it’s lighter and more durable over time. Just laminate straight over the silicone applying a gel coat first. The joins could’ve been formed when applying the silicone , not cut with a knife afterwards, this might be suitable in other applications, but not this. The amount of flash lines you had to clean was a nightmare. I think the guy was probably more used to making plaster piece moulds.
I agree the amount of flash lines was intense and the plaster is heavy vs fiberglass for the outside! Thank you for your feedback, I will pass it along.
You should never be working with marble dust without a fine particle mask, this is scaring me. Your lungs are delicate. Don't expose them to marble dust and get miner's lung disease. You think you are invincible when young. Take heed and protect the only set of lungs you have! Reusing marble scraps is an excellent idea! This is just what I needed to see to repair a marble inlay table. Love the blue color just like lapis. I need the same color. I would love to know what pigment shade you used and brand. I had a house fire and lost all my art. I was able to save this little table with a marble top inlaid with lapis, carnelian, malachite, black onyx, and coral. I want to recreate a stone like paste to press back into the lost inlays. This lapis looks realistic, very pretty! When making your next 'lapis' sculpture, consider getting mica flakes to add to the final coating. Also some pure mica dust, maybe larger dust particles. When polishing it, the mica will look like the real pyrite in the lapis giving a very realistic lapis effect. fyi - the background music was very distracting. Best not to have music when talking.
You are welcome! I have plenty of marble powder if you would like to buy some, my website contact form is here jylbonaguro.com/purchase-art-contact-sales/
Hey look, that's the way the ancient Greeks did it. Except they used wax not rubber. Nope, not at all how the Greeks did it. They covered a body with wax then cut it away. Then filled the mold with marble dust which gets harder and harder
Let's go zero waste by using more material, electricity and create more waste. Great idea!!
This beautiful woman is awesome I love her work her statue of real women welldone.She lifecast them I'm kidding ClassA work.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you like the videos and my work :)

I did not want that to end, what a painstaking process. So complex, beautiful!♥️👍

Wow! Jyl, I love that you're able to reuse your scraps to make even more art! No waste is the way. Well done love! Thanks for sharing your progress.
You are so welcome Alaur!! I have been thinking about this problem on and off for years so it makes me really happy to share the solution! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I just discovered your work. What a gifted artist, and thank you for generously sharing these incredible tips!! Wishing you the best.

Wow, I am very impressed with your sculpting abilities, and casting abilities also, plus your zero wast outlook on recycling the marble dust!

very cool, great work!
Thank you!! :) Figuring out how to recycle everything took some thinking lol
beautifully done
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
That beautiful lady needs some gold leaf vanes running down her body. I was wandering why blue and not white? But now I know Lapis lazuli. Stunning.
Thanks so much. I love gold myself but I was going for Lapis Lazuli. Really appreciate it :)
Very good video thank you
Trabalho muito bonito! Parabéns
Obrigada! Muchas gracias

Definitely, you can modify according to your needs 👍

Thank you for sharing your process. Do you by any chance sell marble powder?

A lot of work for one copy!
agreed! but because it's a permanent mold I can make another copy "relatively easily" :)
wonderful
fine
goodly
nobly
A1
first-rate
like a million
like a house on fire
Thank you!
is it finished?
Yes, but the base will be recast. I might use a clear resin next time and color it purple instead like amethyst.
i love you.

Cool project, but man your voice nearly bored me to sleep.
thank you! I have a tendency towards a monotone...maybe I need acting classes ;) cheers
