My first try at casting. I learned a lot of what not to do! Also my appreciation for the PR Princess went way up! Anyway, two cigars clear pr with painted tubes.
Very nice for a first cast, great colors. My first cast was not even close to that good. You may need to send me one of those for a closer inspection.:wink: Great Job!
Several of you got it right off. It is loofa or loofah sponge (spelled both ways). Bought it off Ebay. Got the idea several months ago when I watched Roy cast cactus at the first Oklahoma gathering. Took photos of Roy's pressure pot and carrier and made me one similar.
I cored out the center of the sponge (black pen made from that) and then cut the body into strips (red pen)to fit my Gadget mold. My first try I had more on the table and floor than I did in the mold ). I did decide I need more room if I am going to do this very often. Lots of fun and I owe my inspiration to Roy.
