Welp, this is not how I had hoped to reveal the Quru, but oh well.
I have bad news and bad-sorta good news.
yah, so the bad news is that my first attempt at the Quru failed. See pics above. My poor birdy.
The bad-sorta good news is that I have to postpone my surgery. A few days ago, I was getting ready to pay the physician fee of 481.75 when they dropped the bombshell on me that I would also have to pay 2000.00 for the facility fee. If they had told me that when I was at the appointment scheduling the surgery then I would have told them that, wow, I cant do this right now, I am not made of money.
So the sorta good news is that my shop will remain open and not go into vacation mode this month.
If things work out I can reschedule the surgery for sometime in march.So after all of that happened, I went ahead and made a mold of the Quru using Rebound 25 and mold star 15. This was my first time making a reversible mold instead of a sleeve mold. A day after making the mold I decided to pour my first Quru, I thought I had adequately coated the inside of the mold with ease release 200. But nope, I did not.
The demolding process was frustrating and painful. I just wasted almost 5 Droths worth of silicone.After demolding the Quru I just put it down, walked away, and went to take a shower.
I hate the feeling of failure.
I spent the next day in denial. I didn’t even want to look at it. The day after that I was starting to feel better and finally went over and picked the Quru up, gave it a few squishes and started to examine my mistakes. I realized that not all is lost. The mold might be salvageable and the original sculpt is undamaged ( except for the feathers) I can remake the feathers, better and with less small detail for easier demolding.
Everything will be okay. Its something I gotta tell myself a lot.
I am not sure when I will get a chance to continue working on it. But I will complete this monster bird someday. I will have my Quru!
Base preview and some quick Quru specs:
From base to tip the Quru is about 12 inches long
Circumference of first spiral 5 inches
Circumference of second, 6 inches
Circumference of third 7.5 inches
Circumference of fourth 10 inches
I will be able to provide better sizing when its actually in silicone form.
Even though January is going to be a hard month for me, I still hope to have this bird done and cast by the end of it.
