I hope y'all enjoyed my weird interpretation of the iconic leg lamp from A Christmas Story ☺️
This is definitely one of my favorite projects to date and I COULD NOT have done it without the help of my friends Bianca, Emily, & Emilio, ‪@NicTaylorWoodworking‬ , ‪@StudsonStudio‬ & his amazing voiceover skills, and last but not least ‪@ReynoldsamPlus‬ for sharing a few tips and tricks. A HUGE thank you to all my helpers 💙
Materials used:
Smooth-On Body Double lifecasting silicone rubber
Smooth-On Smooth-Cast 57D is a semi-rigid urethane plastic
Thanks for watching y'all!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS POSTED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I MISSED IT.

@RaqrexArt Год назад

Hahaha better late than never 😉 Glad you checked it out!

@charliemudd8063 Год назад

it's nice the way you distinguished your lamp from the iconic lamp by making a table lamp instead of a floor lamp.

@RaqrexArt Год назад

More practical too 💁‍♀️

@tosteson1 Год назад

1. Wonderful 2. Glad you took time to enjoy the holidays 3. Love that it's a table lamp - actually works better and more useful.

@RaqrexArt Год назад

Thank you Sam! I’m happy I took my time too - it was definitely the right call 🤗

@richardteasdale4144 Год назад

The lamp looks fantastic, I was wondering when you were gracing us with your presence again ( You were missed Raquel) love your videos! Regarding the shoe, most shoes have what is called a shank in the arch/heel area which adds support and reduces flex of the shoe in that area, it would appear this shoe had a steel shank, sometimes they are made of wood or plastic. I have to add, you have really gorgeous legs Raquel.

@RaqrexArt Год назад

Thank you so much!!! I’m so hopeful to have more time to create more content this year - changed up my work and living situation recently so that should help. And yes I’m familiar with shanks in boots but I was surprised to encounter such a powerful one in a cheap high heel 😆

@jimmckenzie Год назад

Awesome! It took me twelve minutes to realize that I was also sculpting a foot while watching this video of you making a foot lamp

@RaqrexArt Год назад

Ha! Sculpting a foot from scratch sounds like quite the feat…see what I did there 😉

@jacobroberts1434 Год назад

Hahaha. That is awesome! The only thing that could make it better would be a touch sensor on the toes to turn it on and off. Next project for body casting, Raqrez Hand phone stand!

@RaqrexArt Год назад

I thought about that too! Since the leg didn't end up hollow it really made it challenging to make it an actual functioning lamp but we got there! haha Love the hand idea - I was also thinking of making some furniture that has "real" hands and feet...

@Makkenhoff Год назад

You will always have to wonder, are they complimenting your leg from 2022 or the light it brings to dark spaces. Glad you didn't let an imaginary deadline destroy your holiday time, no one deserves that - I think body molding will be interesting, it's a very different way to get to the same place as subtractive styles of art, and I think you'll have plenty of ideas spawn from this video. Thanks for sharing your work, as always!

@jameslivingstone8267 Год назад

I’ve recently come back to a project that I previously abandoned because it didn’t go at all according to plan. Similar to casting with resin, I cast masks with latex and if the mould I use isn’t watertight then the latex will come pouring out of the bottom. Needless to say it’s quite stressful at times, so I can definitely empathise with you on this project!

@RaqrexArt Год назад

Ooofff yeah that sounds stressful as well and potentially costly! I’m happy to hear you circled back to your project - sometimes all you need is to step away for awhile 😊

Alginate would have given you fewer problems casting your leg so in version two you may wanna try that 😉

@vincentferrari Год назад

@@RaqrexArt You'd probably be relieved! It cures in like 15 minutes, and you basically can do the whole thing in a 5 gallon bucket so you have a nice solid cast with thick walls that you don't have to support afterward
