Step 2 - Using soft clay for creating a base

In this part, I used a soft clay that doesn't dry to create a base layer upon which I would pour the silicon. This step of the process definitely took some time as I did not know how much clay to use or what the proper way of using the clay way. My clay tools definitely came in handy during this stage when I had to smoothen the top surface.


I had to go back and add an extra layer of clay to my base and I had created an inclined surface and not a flat one. This would have caused a very flimsy mold to be created. Luckily based on Chris's feedback I was able to fix this issue. I also found it easier to just push clay in once the container box had been created.


If I could go back, I would have liked to work with an acrylic cut box, I have a feeling it might have made the process easier for me personally.
