Footprints

~
Well, foot moulds really! After I had done the serious ironing (you know, the boring stuff....) this morning I used the ironing board to have a play with my new shoes and some plasticine. I read on someone's blog that you can use plasticine to make moulds which can then be lined with toilet tissue to make embellishments. I have a feeling that I can store these plasticine moulds in the freezer for future use, or am I completely mad? We'll soon find out if the moulds harden and crack up.

This is the plasticine covered in torn up toilet tissue. I painted each mould with some liquid soap before I started adding the toilet tissue layers in the hope that this will ease the lifting off process. Then I layered torn tissue with watered down PVA glue in several layers until I felt it was thick enough. Now I have to wait for it all to dry. I have peeled the smallest one away but it was still a bit soggy so I am going to be more patient with the remaining moulds and will probably peel them off tomorrow.
