mmmm.... chocolate snakes...

I think the friends that would want them are small, but it might be fun...

Definitely keep everyone posted, and this has been super helpful. I am running all the info past my partner and we're going to make a few different molds and try with various mediums.

From the sounds of the medium, I think I know how to do it so that I do not lose any of the detail. I will put her on a stand... set that in a container, then pour the alginate over her. That way when I remove the stand, which will be about 2/3rd the size of her base, then I can pop the mold off and still have one piece that will contain the entire body.

I had thought I would have to figure out a way to have two halves, but if I can do it in one piece then that much better.

Now I am getting excited.
