Video of building the shell- From wax to bronze post #3

Here she is right before I start dipping her.  

I am ready to make the mold of the serendipity piece. (I am still pondering the name but for now I am referring to her as serendipity). I will dip the sprued up wax sculpture into slurry a total of 10 times and into dry silica 8 of the 10 times. The piece has to completely dry after each dip. The video clip below shows this process starting at about a third of the way through the dipping process.
