The plan is two pour the plaster into a square mold, let it set up a little, then press Boo's, Tako's, Mr. Chip's, Pooter's, Garfield's, and Bob-o's paw *or paws* into it to make a print. Then I'd write their names and estimated birthdays above or below the print, and leave it at that. Possibly paint the name.
Is that viable? I've never really messed with plaster. My immediate thought was cement, but these are small prints and I want detail, and I don't think cement comes in such a fine grain. Clay could work, but only if I could get someone to fire it for me. Bone dry just doesn't do well if something happens.
Would a ceramics store that does do classes fire it for me if I asked real nice and payed them? Then I could glaze, fire again, and have pretty tiles as memoirs.
Input?
