A couple of days ago, we left work at 5pm to head down to New Heaven Dive School. They are a good bunch of guys who do a lot of Eco work on the island.
Anyway, one of their students came up with an idea to make a underwater sculpture with real faces on it... so of course Jen and I were up for the challenge.
We arrived, and they mixed the Silicone base...
Jen went first, and the first step was to have her hair wrapped in clingfilm and to spread Vaseline all over her face to prevent it sticking...
Then with only a straw to breathe through... they poured on the goo...
After 20 minutes of laying still and sipping her breaths through the straw. The Silcone had set and the peeling took place...
Jenny's cast was done, now it was my turn!
These casts will be used to make a cement sculpture to put down onto the reef.. I can't wait to see the cement castings... The creator thinks it will be about a month before it is ready to deploy..
Both Jen and I had so much fun.... really made a change! But boy did that stuff cling on to your eyelids... and facial hair.... ouch!!
