1. Mixing the alginate powder with water to the correct consistency.

2. Once mixed the alginate is poured onto a cloth.

3. The alginate is molded around the foot and allowed to set.

4. Once set the mold is removed from the foot or hand.

5. Mixing the plaster, not too thick or too thin...We don't want any bubbles!

6. Pouring the plaster, again we are trying not to introduce air to the plaster mix.

7. The reveal! Once set, we can gently peel the alginate mold from the plaster.

8. My favourite part...the toes!

9. A great little cast of Felix's foot!

10. The cast is left to dry before we move to the next stage.

11. Once dry, the cast is painted in the chosen colour, here it is silver.

12. Patination is applied using a mascara brush!
