Muffin

Ok this one was a lot of fun, mainly because of the high levels of spontaneity.  I went on a weekend trip with Kaitlin, my girlfriend, and we stayed a t ahotel that has a free breakfast service (lush... I know).  So I had gotten this blueberry muffin and decided to save it for the road and put it in my glove box as we drove back home, about a 4 hour drive for this vacation.

     Well about 2 weeks go by and I am driving to class one day and open the glove box for whatever reason and see the muffin still sitting there.  My first thought is "Daaaang, I have to throw that away", my second is "Wow this muffin has gotten really hard", and my third thought was "I could totally make a mould of this!"

     So I take the muffin back inside my house and begin to cast.  The first cast was of some left over plastic I had, then i did a series of Foam casts.  The foam I used was 10lb. and expanded about 10 times.  I decided to go with the foam because I had never used it before and had a lot of free time to screw it up and learn how to use it properly (the same reason I do most things).

Mixing up liquid plastic.

I took a dinner break and made some amazing tacos that night and apparently took a photo.

Glamour shot!

Then the foam casts.

Then finally both finished painted muffins

thanks for dealing with this ridiculously long blog post!
