Fun with plaster
To get away from the shape of the infamous party cup, the following three people came up with ideas to start off with a different base from which to construct their plaster sculptures.
The first was a girl who decided to use a bag in order to start off with a very none symmetrical shape. Believing this could end up getting quite messy, she chose to perform this procedure at home. She placed the bag in the kitchen sink and the poured the plaster slurry into it. Realizing that she did not want it to be wide and flat when it hardened, she picked up the bag to move it to a better location for the shape she desired. Upon lifting the bag beyond the boundaries of the sink, one of the seams split open releasing the full contents of the vessel. The result was an awful large white mess all over the sink and surrounding floor space.
The second was a guy who had the intrepid idea of placing the plaster in a balloon. The question then arises, “How do you get it in there?” Well, his solution was to use a funnel in the mouth of the balloon. This worked in theory, of course, another assumption went with this. This weight of the liquid plaster would be enough to expand the balloon to the desired size. Well everything started out going well, until the balloon has reached it’s capacity in it’s rested state. It turned out that the plaster was not heavy enough after all. The balloon filled and the plaster began to fill the funnel instead of proceeding forward. Thus the idea came to mind to squeeze the balloon to help things along. The result was the unforeseen expulsion of the contents of the balloon directly toward the guy’s face. This covered him with wet plaster. Again it was a hell of a mess.
The third fellow was a little more thoughtful in his choice of containers. He quickly decided the bag was a bad idea and moved on to his next choice, a condom. This being much more flexible than a regular balloon was an obviously better choice. His first mistake came when he added too much water to his batch of plaster. This extended the drying time significantly. He placed the soupy mixture in the condom and left it in the dining room table. Over an hour later, he returned to find that a film of water was collecting on the top of the plaster in the condom. He just had to find a way to get it out. This is where his genius kicked in. He took a pin and put a hole in it to alleviate the moisture. Instantly the condom burst open letting loose a tidal wave of white gunk all over the table.
Of the three of them, only the third was unable to recover from his devastating blow to his creative urge.
