I’ve never had to cast an animal before, but there’s a first time for everything.
To keep the hot plaster from melting the octopus into a pile of reek, it was frozen. Its tentacles were flattened against a sheet of aluminum foil so that there wouldn’t be too many undercuts on the mold.
Katie Akana cast the octopus in gelatin (with some sort of secret ingredient to make the creature especially stinky!)
