Karen has been bitten by the plasterite bug
Here are my efforts from yesterday.
I thought the smaller cones where 6 & 12 inches but on seeing them together & then measuring them, they are 9 & 10 1/2 inches not that it matters.
I lost a bit of the side on one, I don’t know why because the others where ok, it was from the same mix.
I expected the plasterite to have been more of a light colour, whether it’s the sand that has coloured it.
And probably too when they dry out more.
But as long as they work that’s all I’m bothered about.
As you can see there is some sand from the beach behind the big cone
which I’m hoping I can turn into life pillows when it dries out. I’m reluctant to put it in the oven in case it lowers its abilities.
I’m looking forward to making some more, as I’ve definitely been bitten by the plasterite bug.
