....meanwhile back at the lab....my kitchen

So with a little advice from Sandee(studio mate and homie), I cast my candy project molds with Smooth-On's Crystal Clear Liquid Plastic. This experiment was to see if I could make fake lollies look like the real ones for long term display. So far, looking good after two trials.

I'm already working on the Scrapyard Guitars , workshop gathering stuff to make one and two string guitars with. I hope lots of people show up.
