Tim from Grey Matter....

Cutting moulds is always fun. Basically I work on the fact that I could only get one chance to get it right, depending on the sculpting medium.
Sometimes the master sculpt will break when cutting it out of the silicone, if that happens I can't afford to do any bad cuts. If I break the master and have a useless mould then all would be very embarrassing.
I also don't like to scar the master with a scalpel blade, although sometimes it happens.[/quote]

Another Charity Thingy update...

Tim at Grey Matter Figures now has the 3 'greens' for mastering in resin.....












From L-R Andrew's Sabrina, Seb's Kelly and Kev's Jill












In this photo, the masters have been set up for moulding in silicone.
Since then they have been vacuumed in silicon rubber.
Due to the cool weather they will not be able to be "cut" until tomorrow, a day later than normal.

Next process will be Mark and Rich casting a few resins for painting.
After that the transitional resins, will involve a lot of swearing as it is a bitch to do and can only do one cast a day

Frothers' Charity thingy 2010

Over the summer on Frothers we've been running a Charity drive. All those that have made donations will be getting a set. Kelly was sculpted by Seb Archer of Guild of Harmony, Sabrina by Andrew Rae of Statuesque and Jill by Kev White of Hasslefree. Limited to only 100 sets these have now all been taken but if you'd like to still give a bit (and get a warm, fuzzy feeling) yu can do so here:

http://www.justgiving.com/Frothers10

and if there are any spare sets they'll be allocated on a first come, first served basis to those on this list.

Photos of all 3 greens can be seen here:

Photoshoppery Part 10

10. Repeat adding images as you want. Once you're happy go to 'Layer' and select 'Flatten' and save the image and you're done :)












Hope that makes sense!

Photoshoppery Part 9

9. Repeat the Rotate, Select, Invert, Feather & Drag for the second image.












When you're ready to re-size go to 'Edit', then 'Transform' but finally select 'Again'; this will reduce the new additition to the same size as the first one.

8. Drop the dragged image onto the main picture and postition it where you want. Next go to 'Edit', pick 'Transform' and then 'Scale'. Keep a finger on the 'Shift' key and slide the selection down to the size you want......

7. Select the blue background from the new image then 'Right Click' and pick 'Select Inverse'.
Next 'Right Click' again and choose 'Feather' followed, again, by '1 Pixel'.

Then choose the 'Drag Selection' tool and start to move the image towards the first picture....

Photoshoppery Part 6

6. Now the Graduate background is in place; the choice of colours can be easily selected via the two colours on the bottom of the Tool Bar. Now move that image to one side and start on the second picture....












Rotate the new picture so the image is upright

Photoshoppery Part 5

5. Select '1 Pixel' on the Feather Menu. Then choose the 'Graduate Fill' tool and draw a straight line from top to bottom.....

Photoshoppery Part 4

4. Now the image is cropped use the 'Magic Wand' tool to start selecting the blue background. Use the 'Shift' key to add to the selection and pick out areas not selected first time.

Once the whole background is selected Right Click and go to 'Feather'....

Photoshoppery Part 3
