moulding and waxing

100 tiles of 100m x 100mm under way. 2 done.
here is a list of operations ( verbs)
rolling/casting/moulding/waxing/dipping/stamping/printing...... more as they emerge.
It seems to be tempting or testing fate to talk about the end when I have just begun. Many hours thinking and staring off into space and talking to Audrey about the idea.
The whole process is experimental, never done this before. However I have a clear idea of what could 'be there' when it is finished. Each step, each operation is a work in itself.
Today I finalized the ultimate process for each individual tile by diping the final piece in hot wax and hermetically sealing it off. This will stabilize the collection as it grows to it's full number, no shrinkage. I see now that I can control that process by perforating the wax barrier.....
eventually 100 tiles will have plaster poured over them to a depth of 20mm.
And on it goes.
Have to make one first.
