Making the heart pt.2

As the first attempt to create a mold of a pigs heart failed i had to think of an alternative way. I thought back to my childhood when i had made some clay-like jewelery from plaster of paris, and thought this may be a better direction to take. So i prepared the heart by inserting cling film into the ventricles of the heart, so the plaster would get stuck and damage the heart as i tried to take it out. The i prepared the mixture which consisted of adding water to the powder until i go what resembled a yogurty texture. I waited until the mixture was harding then i placed the heart into the mix and left to dry. This way proved to be much or successful.
