This was my attempt at cutting sole shapes out of glass... I did get some good ones... promise!
These are the heels I made out of air drying clay first to make the mould around. They look awful I know but I'm rubbish with ceramics!!!
This is the last that I bought from the museum of London in order to get an idea of proportions and sizes of the heels and toes etc. Its proved very useful so far!
The following are slabs which I have propped up to form the correct shape with the correct contours. This has to wait to dry, which will probably take until Friday, then it will have to be fired in the kiln first, then on Monday it can go in the kiln again to slump the glass into the right shape.
These are the moulds of the heels, where I will use the same process as above.
I added a security slab, another one just in case the others crack!
I really hope that this works as otherwise I'll have to use perspex or acrylic! yuk!
