"Everything happens for a reason????"

PeterG - Saturday, August 23, 2008 - 9:18pm

I've just been reading about Rick's back issues and noticed at least 4 of the 10 comments said "everything happens for a reason". I am curious as to the meaning of this. Is there a belief that a divine power has smitten Rick as punishment or to perhaps guide him forwards in life. Do people believe that the "Universe" guides us in certain ways in all aspects of our lives, including our art?....or is the reason just that Rick suddenly found himself on longer on the back of his truck and was attacked by a combination of gravity and the earth?

Silicone rubber substitute

PeterG - Sunday, May 4, 2008 - 7:43pm

I have been modeling small objects in clay, producing silicone rubber moulds and then using the mould for lost wax bronze casting.

I am now looking at casting some 6' sculptures (they will be 1 off's) and am wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper flexible mold than silicone rubber....or are there some additives for silicone rubber that will enable me to paint or spray it on to the mould without it all running on to the floor?
