I was watching an early Cone Heads sketch (Sat. Night Live, 1977, "Cone Heads at Home", Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, Elliot Gould, Garrett Morris), and I remembered their head shapes fondly - then recast them as Cone Head Botanical Bottle Stoppers.
Ingredients: PR, dichroic film, mica powders, dried Yellow Yarrow.
Cast at 50psi in 2 steps, as in my other recently posted botanical stoppers.
The silicone cone molds worked well as jam chucks for drilling and tapping.
Then used the stopper mandrel for shaping and polishing.
(Yes - face mask, hand-me-down armor from King Arthur's Court, Kevlar knee pads and boots, astronaut suit):
Happy Tuesday to all - Bob
