Forming the thorn shapes


Today I completed the forming of the flower shapes in the oven. Firstly I had to make some wooden shapes for helping me to mold the shapes, as they are like floppy jelly shapes when they have been heated through enough. It then takes about 4 minutes for the acrylic to cool and harden, plus it was easy to re-heat any areas with a heat gun to adjust any bits. It was a highly satisfying process and it was great to see the finished results piling up on the desk!
