More Lifecasting Ideas
LifeCast™ Ideas: We are always looking for clever approaches to sculpture and welcome your feedback. Be sure to check out our customer projects section and contribute your own work for presentation to your fellow LifeCasters™. Also see the Finishing Techniques area for more ideas.
Removable holding objects: If an object which is smooth and shaped correctly is used in a LifeCast™, it can be made to slide in and out of the grip. A business card holder is one popular example. Another is a holder for the TV remote.
Rotating objects such as smooth glass or plastic balls will spin in the 'grip' of a correctly made LifeCast™. If cast in something durable these could even be used as chair or table casters!
Fine art models (used to study the human anatomy in drawing) are quite expensive and, not very detailed. LifeCasts™ are not only cheaper but accurate right down to the fingerprints.
Commercial displays for nail shop windows, jewelry stores, signage, foot traffic control and so on can make your efforts more memorable than mere graphics ever could.
Custom shoes are easily made even if the cobbler shop is far away. Copy your feet and ship them!
Halloween pumpkins and other decorations of the 'bewitching' season are more frightening when combined with LifeCasts™. Ghoulish hands, dripping in red paint sticking out from the sides of a jack-o-lantern for example. Plus you can use them year after year.
Custom, form fitting masks can be made with some skill and ingenuity. There are many books and a few web sites devoted to this special effects (f/x) skill but, they all begin with LifeCasting™.
Parent Day gifts are a staple of elementary schools nationwide. Take one of our StudioPacks™ to your child's classroom and help the teacher show the kids how to create something truly memorable for a change.
If cast in durable media such as metal or some plastics, LifeCasts™ can be used for hat/coat racks, door knobs, garden decorations, etc.
